Reports and Grading The new grading system for
GCSEs is 9-1.
This table shows how these
correlate to the old style
grading system of A*-G.
All new GCSEs will now be
assessed on the 9-1 scale,
old GCSEs will still be
assessed as A*-G.
All reports that are sent home will reflect these changes in grading.
They will still indicate whether a student is working below, at or above target.
