  1. Updates! The Headlines

  2. BBA 58.6% BBA 51.4% Interesting the discrepancy between English, Maths and “All”. Even more so given the wide publicity around the massive ramping up of English boundaries.

  3. Subject Timetable Teaching from 2015, with exams in 2017: English language and literature; maths Teaching from 2016, with exams in 2018: Sciences; languages; geography; history; religious studies; design and technology; art and design; drama; dance; music; PE; computer science; citizenship Teaching from 2017, with exams from 2019: All remaining subjects

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

  5. 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

  6. How will things match? • 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.

  7. Early Entry – First Entry • ‘First Entry’ does not apply to qualifications taken 3 years before reporting (ie Y8 and below)…new game? • Science…very muddy waters and some big changes emerging to clarify:

  8. Early Entry – First Entry – Science Pathways • 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

  9. Impact of new early entry rules • Predicts a 5% drop this year (5ACEM) • -6% for boys and FSM • PiXL focusing on ‘best’ not ‘first’. Student Authentic Report (SAR) details announced on 10th June.
