Bit confused regarding the GCSEs being sat this summer.
Can anyone confirm my following summary understanding:
*English and Maths - both now graded 9-1. New curriculum. Harder than previous years. No controlled assessment. (English - more marks for spag, so children with dyslexia at immediate disadvantage?)
Sciences - Graded A to G. Lower proportion of marks from controlled assessment. New curriculum. Harder than previous years.
Humanities - Graded A to G. Lower proportion of marks from controlled assessment than previous years but not thought to be much harder.
*Languages - no changes?
And then it changes again for many GCSEs in 2018??
No idea what the state of play is for A levels in 2019...
It all feels a right mess tbh!
