A Grade 4 in the new system is equivalent to a Grade C, with a Grade 5 being higher than a 4 but lower than a B. For students at North Kent College with a '3' or below in Maths and/or English, resit classes or Maths & English Functional Skills classes will be mandatory alongside their main course. New exams for GCSE Maths and English are scheduled for summer 2017, with no Foundation Level in the new English GCSEs. GCSE Science exams will begin in summer 2018, featuring a Combined Science option and separate Biology, Chemistry, and Physics GCSEs. The new GCSE courses will place a greater emphasis on end-of-year exams, with coursework and practical assessments playing a reduced role. Other GCSE subjects will transition to the new Grade 9-1 courses over the coming years, starting from September 2016.",{"@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-grade-9-1-gcses-explained/206763/",{"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},"Asher","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 relationship between the new GCSE grading system and the old system?","Question",{"text":106,"@type":107},"The new '9-1' grading system is introduced, where a Grade 4 is equivalent to an old Grade C.

For example a ‘4’, is the same as a ‘C’ while a 5 is better than a ‘4’ but not as high as the old grade ‘B’.  \nMaths & English GCSEs and Functional Skills at North Kent College  \nAll learners that come to NKC with a ‘3’ or below in Maths and/or English will be expected to study Maths and English alongside their course. Any learner who joins us specifically with a ‘3’ will join the GCSE resit classes, while those below a 3 will attend Maths & English Functional Skills classes.  \nA bit more detail about the new GCSEs  \n• The first new exams for GCSE Maths and English will be in summer 2017.  \n• There's no Foundation Level in the new English GCSEs — students of all abilities will take the same exams.  \n• The new GCSE Science exams in schools will start in summer 2018.There are fewer course options in the new Science GCSEs. Most pupils will either take the new Combined Science course (worth two GCSEs) or three separate GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.  \n• Coursework and practical assessments play a much smaller part in the new GCSE courses—which means most of the marks are won or lost in the exams at the end of Year 11.  \n• For other GCSE subjects, the new Grade 9-1 courses will be introduced over the next few years.  \nSeptember 2016","cbCailrtnfFkkCFJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailrtnfFkkCFJ","pdf",55993,"English","# What's changing at GCSE?\n## The New Grade 9-1 GCSEs Explained\n## A bit more detail about the new GCSEs","[{\"question\":\"What is the relationship between the new GCSE grading system and the old system?\",\"answer\":\"The new '9-1' grading system is introduced, where a Grade 4 is equivalent to an old Grade C.
