EGG is thrilled to be a member of the OCR advisory board for the new Natural History GCSE under development. This is scheduled to be rolled out in 2024-2025. We will be posting links to resources for teachers on our website.
OCR is delighted our plans to introduce a GCSE in Natural History have been approved by the Department for Education (DfE). The new qualification will enable students to develop a rich understanding of the natural world: from their own local wildlife, environment and ecosystem to critical global challenges like climate change, biodiversity and sustainability.
