GCSE Natural History - a new blog

I have a new blog project for 2023.


In April 2022, a new GCSE specification was announced, to be taught from 2025.

You can join the dedicated Facebook group here that was started by Anthony Bennett and I.

One element of the proposed specification is a look back at the origins of our relationship with nature, when prehistoric people rendered them in pigments on the walls of caves where they lived or took shelter.

From tomorrow, January 1st 2023, I'm starting this new blog and you are welcome to follow it alongside LivingGeography as we move through the next couple of years of development. It will be interesting to see how the original conception is amended.

It's specially for those teachers who want to get involved in following the development of the specification, and also think about whether they might want to teach it.

It's worth saying this is not an official OCR blog, and not affiliated with the official specification in any case. 

It will lead to the development of a set of resources, and there is already a bulging Google Drive folder packed with reports and reading, Flickr images, a Pinterest board and lots more besides. The blog will also be searchable by those who prepare to teach the new specification.
