DD is now in Y8 so will be (I think) in the first year group to do all her GCSEs under the number system.
She was wondering how the numbers will compare to the old NC levels. Her school still use these now and will do so for her year up to GCSE when (I assume) they will switch to GCSE numbers.
So for example, would a L6 in Y8 mean that (assuming all curriculum was covered between now and Y11 and she didn't drop her level at all) that she's likely to get a pass in that subject?
Are they in any way linked?
I'm assuming not, because otherwise every Y6 kid with a L5 in their SATs would be at the equivalent of a GCSE pass!
