GCSE 9-1 Grades
GCSEs are assessed primarily through final examination and grades are awarded on a 9 to 1 scale. The short video explains the GCSE grading system.
In order to achieve the English Baccalaureate, you would need to study for GCSEs English Language, Maths, Science, a humanity subject (History or Geography) and a modern foreign language. Whilst we would encourage you to choose a modern foreign language, the EBacc is not compulsory and you may choose different subjects from across three option blocks.
