New GCSE'S

[fayeso]

Hi
My eldest is 13 this academic year, therefore due to sit GCSE's in 2017. Am I correct in thinking that her English and maths will be the new exams.....graded from 1-9, and her other subjects will be the old style GCSE...graded a-g?
Feeling slightly annoyed if this the case (which I think it is!!)
Can anyone confirm?

That posted too early as I was checking facts. I should have put foundation Tier you can get up to a grade 5 which in old terms is equivalent to a high C/low B grade. Schools usually enter for foundation if they think a student will struggle to get a grade 5 on higher Tier.
