The reform, implemented gradually from September 2015, will see students receiving a mix of both grading systems during the transition years of 2017 and 2018. The document assures stakeholders that student outcomes will not be negatively impacted by these changes, as a statistical method will be employed to ensure comparability. Specifically, the proportion of students achieving a grade C and above under the old system will correspond to the proportion achieving a grade 7 and above in the new system. Similarly, the bottom of grade 1 will align with the bottom of grade G. A grade 5 is designated as a 'good pass,' which will be awarded to the top third of students who would have previously received a grade C or the bottom third of those who would have received a grade B. Furthermore, the top 20 percent of students achieving a grade 7 or higher in each exam will be eligible for a grade 9. Detailed comparison tables are provided, juxtaposing the new 9-1 scale with the existing A*-G scale, illustrating the equivalence and the new benchmarks set for 'good pass' and top performance.",{"@graph":69,"@context":116},[70,84,99],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/new-gcse-grading-structure/206601/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"author":86,"headline":65,"publisher":89,"fileFormat":92,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":93,"datePublished":93,"encodingFormat":92,"isAccessibleForFree":94,"interactionStatistic":95},"DigitalDocument",{"name":87,"@type":88},"Tawan","Person",{"url":74,"name":90,"@type":91},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-05",true,{"@type":96,"interactionType":97,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":98},"ViewAction",{"@type":100,"mainEntity":101},"FAQPage",[102,108,112],{"name":103,"@type":104,"acceptedAnswer":105},"What is the new grading system for GCSEs?","Question",{"text":106,"@type":107},"The new GCSE grading system uses numbers from 9 to 1, instead of the previous A* to G grades.","Answer",{"name":109,"@type":104,"acceptedAnswer":110},"When were the reformed GCSEs introduced?",{"text":111,"@type":107},"Reformed GCSEs were introduced gradually starting from September 2015.",{"name":113,"@type":104,"acceptedAnswer":114},"What is considered a 'good pass' in the new GCSE grading system?",{"text":115,"@type":107},"A grade 5 is considered a 'good pass' in the new GCSE grading system.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":118,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":90,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":120,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":122,"site_id":62},206601,1788594990,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":125},{"doc_id":122,"user_id":126,"nickname":87,"user_avatar":127,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":128,"file_id":129,"file_url":130,"file_type":131,"file_size":132,"view_count":4,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":14,"language":133,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":134,"faqs":135,"seo_title":136,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":123,"read_time":24},2336475104042,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/22000c4c32af1715be0?x-image-process=image/resize,m_fixed,w_180,h_180&k=1786537525561427321","New GCSE  \nGrading Structure  \n\n| NEW GCSE GRADING STRUCTURE |  | CURRENT GCSE GRADING STRUCTURE |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 9 |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  | A* |\n| 8 |  |  |  |\n| 7 |  |  | A |\n| 6 | \u003Cbr>GOOD PASS (DfE) |  | B |\n| 5 | 5 and above = top ofC and above |  |  |\n| 4 | \u003Cbr>AWARDING\u003Cbr>4 and above = bottom ofC and above |  | C |\n| 3 |  |  | D |\n| 2 |  |  | E\u003Cbr>F |\n| 1 |  |  | G |\n| U |  |  | U |\n\nNew GCSE  \nGrading Structure  \nReformed GCSEs will be introduced gradually over three years from September 2015.
