GCSEs Have Changed

GCSEs have changed. For most subjects, results are now graded 9 to 1 instead of the old A* to G. Some of those subjects that have been updated include maths, English language and sciences. The new GCSEs have been reformed to cover more challenging content to ensure students are better prepared for the world of work and further study. Colleges, universities and employers will continue to set their own entry criteria. To find out more about the new GCSEs and what the changes mean, visit https://newgcses.campaign.gov.uk/
