GCSE natural history proposed subject content
Overview
We're seeking views on the proposed subject content for a new GCSE in natural history.
Why your views matter
We have worked with experts and stakeholders to develop proposed subject content for a new GCSE in natural history. The GCSE will allow students to engage with and study specific organisms, including plants or animals and the contexts in which they live, and their complex interactions and dependencies.
It will develop students’ skills of observation, description, recording and analysis, through sustained and structured field study.
Findings from this consultation will be taken into account when finalising the subject content.
Ofqual will consult on assessment arrangements later this year.
