It details the links between the old and new grading systems, highlighting that approximately the same proportion of students achieving Grade A or better will now achieve Grade 7 or better. A Grade 4 is equivalent to an old Grade C, and a Grade 1 is equivalent to an old Grade G. The document also explains that a Grade 4 in English and Maths will exempt students from resitting these subjects in Sixth Form, with a future shift to a Grade 5 to replace 'C' as the definition of a 'Good Pass'. Achieving a Grade 9, which is only awarded to the top 20% of students who achieve a Grade 7 or better, indicates outstanding performance. For Trinity students, the teaching quality remains high, with a change in effort grades from numbers to A, B, C, and D to avoid confusion, while retaining numerical averages for comparison. It is noted that grading for Childcare remains A*-D, and BTEC courses retain their Pass, Merit, and Distinction grading.

Current Year 9 students will be awarded grades 9 to 1 for their GCSE courses, rather than A*-G. Grade 9 is the best grade.  \nThe diagram shows the link between old and new GCSE grades.  \nThere are three linking points at the lower end of grade boundaries:  \n􀁸 New Grade 1 = old Grade G  \n􀁸 New Grade 4 = old Grade C  \n􀁸 New Grade 7 = old Grade A  \nSo roughly the same national proportion of students who achieved Grade A or better in the past in a subject will achieve Grade 7 or better in 2019; the same is true for old C and new Grade 4, and old G and new Grade 1.  \nFor 2019 students who gain at least a Grade 4 in English and Maths will not need to resit those courses in the Sixth Form. In future years this is likely to change to a Grade 5, as this will replace‘C’ as the definition of a ‘Good Pass’.  \nA Grade 9 is will only be achieved by about the top 20% of students who gain a Grade 7 or better in each subject nationally. This will therefore indicate outstanding performance.  \nWhat does this mean for Trinity students?  \nIn some ways, not a lot! Students will continue to receive high quality teaching to help them best prepare for the new courses. We are confident we will retain our excellent record for ensuring our students make the very best progress possible.  \nThe main difference is that to try to avoid confusion we have changed our effort grades to A, B, C and D instead of 1, 2, 3 and 4. The definition of what makes an A (or old 1) has not changed, and the average effort level shown on the front of the report remains as a number to allow you to compare with the average for the whole year group.  \nIf you have any questions about the new grading system please contact me.  \nGraham Davis Deputy Headteacher November 2016  \n*Please note that grading for Childcare remains A*-D, and for BTEC courses grades remain as Pass, Merit and Distinction.","cbCailc8UJtseSvz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailc8UJtseSvz","pdf",149735,"English","# New GCSE Grading Structure\n## New GCSE Grading Structure\n### 9\n### 8\n### 7\n### 6\n### 5\n### 4\n### 3\n### 2\n### 1\n### U\n## Current GCSE Grading Structure\n### A*\n### A\n### B\n### C\n### D\n### E\n### F\n### G\n### U","[{\"question\":\"What is the new grading system for GCSEs?\",\"answer\":\"GCSEs are now graded on a new 9 to 1 scale, with 9 being the highest grade, replacing the old A* to G system.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the new Grade 4 compare to the old grading system?\",\"answer\":\"A new Grade 4 is equivalent to an old Grade C, and approximately the same proportion of students will achieve a Grade 4 or above as achieved a Grade C or above previously.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the significance of a Grade 9 in the new GCSE grading structure?\",\"answer\":\"A Grade 9 is the highest possible grade and is awarded to approximately the top 20% of students nationally who achieve a Grade 7 or better in a subject, indicating outstanding performance.\"}]","New GCSE Grading Structure | PDF"]
