This is the current “matching” that we will all be familiar with…
How do things match?

Changes that have been announced by Gove:• Return to O-Levels• English Baccalaureate Certificate• I-Levels• CSE-Style exam for bottom 25%• Franchise (Single Exam Board per subject)• 1-9 with 1 being the highest• 1-9 with 9 being the highest• Explicitly Harder Content

• Grade 4 equivalent to a current ‘C’…meaning 6 grades at that level or above compared to current 4.
• Grade 5 likely to be the new “Pass” and internationally benchmarked to correspond to performance in “high-performing” countries.
• Grade 7 will be awarded to same proportion of students who gain an ‘A’ in 2016
• Grade 9 will be for “exceptional” performance and awarded to around ½ of those who currently secure an A*
• “National Reference Test” introduced to be sat my several thousand students per year making a representative sample. Content will stay the same each year to allow it to be used to check that GCSE standards are being maintained.
How will things match?

• Students will be ‘tied in’ as soon as 1st qualification taken
• Core taken early ties students into core/additional/further additional route
• BTEC Principles taken early discounts core science
• BTEC applications can be taken alongside core
• Computer science does not discount anything
• CANNOT take core and then go on to separate sciences
• Schools need to think carefully about entry pathways in science now..... all years
Early Entry – First Entry – Science Pathways
