Performance points for Cambridge Nationals confirmed
18 December 2015
OCR’s popular Level 1/2 Cambridge Nationals taught from 2016 will be included on the Department for Education’s Performance Tables for 2018 in the Technical Award category.
The DfE today published its list of the ‘high quality, rigorous qualifications’, to be included.
The 11 Cambridge Nationals subjects involved are:
- Business, Enterprise & Support
- Principles in Engineering and Engineering Business
- Engineering Design
- Engineering Manufacture
- Systems Control in Engineering
- Health and Social Care
- ICT
- Creative iMedia
- Sport Science
- Sport Studies
- Child Development
Charlotte Bosworth, OCR Director of Skills and Employment, said: "This is excellent news for both teachers and senior management in schools who can now make clear decisions about which qualifications to run."
Cambridge Nationals in Science and Science in the Workplace have not been included in the 2018 Performance Tables (and weren’t included in the 2017 Tables either) because of the overlap with Science GCSEs within the Ebacc.
