Following the Department forEducation’s (DfE) publication of thelists of qualifications that will count in the Key Stage 4 (KS4) and Key Stage 5 (KS5) Performance Tables in 2016, OCR can confirm those qualifications that have been included in the KS4 and KS5 lists for 2016.
For KS4, we can confirm that Cambridge Nationals in Health and Social Care, ICT, Science, Business and Enterprise, Creative iMedia, Science in the Workplace, Sport Science and Sport Studies, which were included in the 2015 Performance Tables, remain on the list for 2016.
