The RSC as part of SCORE (with the Royal Society, Society of Biology, Institute of Physics and the Association of Science Education), is preparing a reply to the government's consultation on Key Stage 4 assessment (GCSE reform).

SCORE has prepared a draft response, drawing on existing policy positions. They are now asking science teachers to supply their comments on the document and to contribute to the discussion on these significant changes to the English examination system.

Teachers are invited to download the draft response from the discussion group on MyRSC and to contribute their views to the forum. The deadline for comment is 12 November.
