As part of the Cambridge Assessment Group, we have access to unrivalled expertise and research capability across assessment and examinations.

Our mission

OCR is a not-for-profit organisation so success, for us, is measured through the impact and reach of our activities and the scale of our contribution to helping learners realise their aspirations.

Our purpose is to work in partnership with others to provide qualifications that support education in ways which enable all learners to reach their full potential and to recognise and celebrate their achievements.
