  • OCR will be releasing an end of year 10 exam paper

(summer 2018)

  • Whilst we will be doing continual assessments on a

module by module basis, the end of year exam will reflect student progression into year 11.

  • This will help us make an informed decision about

whether triple can run from Sept 2018.

  • There will need to be a between 30 to 35 students who

show academic capability to take this pathway.

How does selection work?
