About the OCR curriculum

OCR's English Literature specification (J352) covers Shakespeare, the nineteenth-century novel, post-1914 prose and drama, and unseen poetry. Set texts skew toward the universally-taught canon: Romeo and Juliet or The Merchant of Venice for Shakespeare; A Christmas Carol or Jekyll and Hyde or Frankenstein for the nineteenth-century paper; An Inspector Calls, DNA, Blood Brothers, Never Let Me Go, or Animal Farm for post-1914. OCR teachers tend to value lesson packs that work across the full set list rather than depth on one cluster, because departments often rotate set texts year-to-year based on what's recently been examined. The OCR mark scheme weights close-reading evidence heavily and rewards students who can range across the whole text rather than recycling a memorised paragraph on one famous scene. Storgy's OCR coverage targets the most-taught set-text combinations plus the Mind and Body unseen-poetry corpus where the spec asks for it. Each work ships with a scheme-of-work overview, a lesson-by-lesson reading guide, and exemplar response paragraphs at the band-7 and band-9 levels. We'll add unseen-practice timed exercises when the AI grading layer ships in Q4 — until then, every poem on the site can be assigned as an unseen practice with a printable handout.
