One for teachers - what exam board next year?

We're most likely going to do OCR A. Mostly because that's what we're doing now and there isn't really much reason (that we can see) to swap - Ofqual have pretty much homogenised the options. Salters and Edexcel are too practical heavy for our students, which left AQA (or go crazeee and consider Pre U - but we don't have good memories of 1950s education).

What exam board are you planning on doing next year? and why?

We follow the IB syllabus for the Diploma program ...
Switching from OCR B to Eduqas, HoD liked the amount of support they appeared to provide. I get no say in things....

Eduqas: a rose by any other name.

Their spec. appears rather flakey, e.g. they require students to define things, but the exam board don't bother themselves.
