OCR scraps film-studies GCSE
The OCR exam board has removed its film-studies GCSE not long before pupils were to begin studying the course, Tes has reported.
Schools were notified that they would not be offering the subject in September.
OCR released a statement saying: “We regret the loss of any subject from our qualification portfolio.
“However, feedback from centres suggests take up of this qualification would be insufficient for OCR to appropriately deliver and support it.”
A spokesperson for the exam board said: “We let schools and colleges know as soon as we could, in order to give teachers who expressed an interest in the new GCSE as much time as possible to make alternative plans.”
With the withdrawal of the OCR course, the only exam board offering GCSE film studies is Wales-based board Eduqas.
