Cambridge OCR have some further professional development for GCSE and A Level sciences (as well as other quals), including Maximising Marks in A Level Physics (£99). Much of our PD to support quals is free or relatively low cost. Feedback is always welcome too! www.ocr.org.uk/qualificatio...

What does the curriculum and assessment review mean for science education? 🤔 Check out our blog: https://ow.ly/4IIJ50XSRX5 And come and talk to us at the ASE conference. We'd love to hear your thoughts. @associationscied.bsky.social

Looking forward to being at ASE with Cambridge OCR. I'll be on the stand Friday and Saturday.

@andy.compoundchem.com and I have written a short blog on the relevance of the CAR report and Government response to GCSE and A Level science should anyone want a shorter summary! We'd love to hear thoughts and how we can support you as redevelopment happens. www.ocr.org.uk/blog/what-do...

Are you looking to buy / top-up OUP A Level science textbooks for Cambridge OCR courses? OUP have been in touch to let us know that they currently have a 25% back-to-school offer. global.oup.com/education/co... Kerboodle users: new tests are live too for AS, with A Level going live this week.

Are you looking for a role in assessment? OCR is a genuienly a great place to work! We're looking for Assessment Standards Managers, 2 permanent and 1 12-month fixed term, ideally STEM subject specialism (though others specialisms also welcome). careers.cambridge.org/jobs/vacancy...

We piloted a new R&I approach in nine schools across England. The results were impressive. Imagine if every student in the had this opportunity. Read and share the report: researchinschools.org/framework/ #STEM #education #EduSky 🧪

We have upcoming online PD for our GCSE science quals...free "Starting to Teach" courses as well as Enhance your Teaching (£99 each) for Biology, Chemistry, Physics, maths skills and practical skills - see Teach Cambridge or: www.ocr.org.uk/qualificatio... #OCRscience #teachers #exams

Do you know the contributions of Edith Stoney, Lise Meitner, Chien-Shiung Wu, Maria Göeppert Mayer and Fabiola Gianotti to physics? My latest blog looks at the amazing contributions of these women to physics, linking to the OCR A Level specifications. www.ocr.org.uk/blog/alevel-...

If you've ever wondered what the role of a Practical Endorsement monitor is like for A Level sciences, take a look at this new blog where OCR monitor Liz answers some questions from me. www.ocr.org.uk/blog/what-do...

The next Physics network will be 7 May 4pm!

OCR Physics A now has an "Assessment Story" resource, explaining the exams in detail. It is found in Teach Cambridge under Assessment and Assessment support. teachcambridge.org/item/c6cf49b... Biology A and Chemistry A also released!

We have a Face to Face teacher network in Reading College next week on Wednesday 29 January and in City Oxford College on 6 February. There is also a Physics network online on Thursday 30 January. Links to sign-up for these are here: teach.ocr.org.uk/teacher-netw... #teachers #OCRscience #teachers

OCR have recently set up an online research panel to help us to develop our Science qualifications. If you're interested being part of this follow this link: t.co/3dbMruNS0S

My latest blog spotlights four women pioneers and links to forces and motion in physics. All fascinating to learn more about in their own diverse fields but my love of Victorian engineering means I was particularly interested to learn about Henrietta Vansittart. www.ocr.org.uk/blog/alevel-...

We’re looking for visiting monitors for 2025 for the Chemistry A Level Practical endorsement particularly in London / South east. Happy to answer any questions I can if anyone is interested! asrecruit.cambridge.org/job/OCR-ASA-...

Now @mikeycaer.bsky.social is prompting discussion around how we include environmental and sustainability in science qualifications. Questions being posed below – interested in the #SciTeachUK perspective on these too #OCRScience

A pleasure to spend the day with stakeholders and discuss various aspects of the future of science qualifications!

Andy Brunning@andy.compoundchem.com · 2y ago

Ready to go for this morning’s OCR Science Consultative Forum with the rest of the #OCRScience team. We’ll be talking about 11-16 curriculum, evolving assessment structures, curriculum modernisation and more!

OCR A/AS Level Physics A H556/H156 specification and DFR (formula) booklet has a minor update for consistency and clarity. A subject update has been sent out but can be seen here: ocr.org.uk/administrati... Updated spec and detailed guide alongside on TC. #OCRPhysics #teachers #exams

My blog comparing A Level Physics for OCR and AQA is now live, following on from the AS content a few weeks ago. I hope this helps centres switching as an overview. lnkd.in/e8FSerx2 I'm open to ideas for any other blogs that would be useful of perhaps if anyone would like to write or co-write one!

I’ll be hosting an A Level Physics teacher network on 20 November. Focus on new to OCR teachers but all welcome, including prospective teachers in the future. All of our networks can be found here: teach.ocr.org.uk/teacher-netw...
