Key Stage 4 Exam Reform Key features of the new GCSEs in England include: • Greater content • More rigorous examination questioning • An increased focus on spelling, punctuation and grammar • An end to coursework in most reformed GCSEs
What has changed for our current Year 9 students? • GCSEs in all subjects will follow the new arrangements • Grades will be 1 -9 with 9 being the highest • In most GCSE subjects, students will sit exams at the end of their two year course • Students will receive numerical grades in August 2020.
Start with the end in mind!
Progression • All young people must stay on in education and/or training until they are 18 • At least a Grade 5 in both English and Mathematics for A Level Courses and Grade 4 for vocational courses • Students who do not achieve the above at the end of Year 11 will have to continue to study Mathematics and/or English • Universities are interested in GCSE grades and not just A Level results
