Here are the results for all candidates aged 17 and over in the UK who sat GCSE Maths, English language and English literature in summer 2017.

These are the results for the old-style “legacy” GCSEs using the A*-G grading system. Next year, everyone (resits included) will have to sit the reformed Maths and English GCSEs, which use the 9-1 grading system (our qualifications expert Gemma Gathercole has explained the new grades here).

New 9-1 GCSE grading system and equivalent A*-G grades

In 2018 all pupils sitting MathsEnglish language and English literature will sit the reformed GCSEs, which use a new 9-1 grading system (where 9 is the highest), though the new numbers don’t correspond exactly with the old letters.

While this means it will be impossible to compare individual grades, Ofqual have named certain grades as “tie points”, so we will be able to make comparisons between bands of grades (see chart below).

Here’s a handy explainer of what the new grading system means for post-16 resits.

    I had fought to retain Functional Skills qualificatiins for years. It is a good alternative to GCSE and addresses employability skills. Funding study in line with GCSE would see a direct comparison between the two quals. Spending only 1.5 hours weekly is just not enough to be able to incorporate any mastery in mathematics.
