GCSE grades are changing
GCSEs in England are being reformed and will be graded with a new scale from 9
to 1, with 9 being the highest grade. English literature, English language and
maths will be the first subjects to be graded in this way from August 2017. The
subjects with the highest numbers of candidates (e.g. arts, humanities,
languages) will follow in 2018 and most others in 2019. This is happening as
GCSEs are being reformed to make them more challenging, to keep pace with
employers’ and universities demands.
In the first year each new GCSE subject is introduced, students who would have
got a grade C or better will get a grade 4 or better. Students who would have
got a Grade A or better will get a 7 or better in the first year. Grade 9 will
be more difficult to achieve than a grade A*. The extra top grade will also
make it easier for employers and universities to distinguish between the most
able students
