Headline Figures
Students taking GCSEs in England this summer have received a mixture of number and letter grades. English language, English literature and maths are the first subjects to use the new system, with most other subjects adopting numbers by 2019. GCSEs will be graded with a new scale from 9 to 1, with 9 being the highest grade (top 3% nationally). A grade 5 in English and Maths is now considered to be a ‘strong’ pass and a grade 4 a ‘pass’.
