On 5 November 2018, Ofqual announced a consultation on the longer-term options for assessing the programming skills of GCSE Computer Science. These are designed to replace the current arrangements introduced in January 2018. Here's a summary of what's proposed. Please do take the opportunity to have your say. 

We look forward to contributing to Ofqual's consultation, informed by your experience and knowledge. To capture your views, please feel free to share your response to Ofqual's consultation with us by emailing: policy@ocr.org.uk. We will also be seeking your views directly via a short survey to help shape our consultation response. 

Whatever Ofqual's decision next January, we are committed to supporting schools and colleges to implement any changes so they can continue to deliver our GCSE successfully.
