Non GCSE Grade Guidance

If a subject is not a GCSE, the progress grade will not be reported in the usual way (A* – G).

Alternative Curriculum is reported as P1 – P6, with the number indicating how many units have been passed (for example P2 indicates 2 units have been passed).

ICT (OCR) is an OCR National Award and it is reported as Pass (P), Merit (M) or Distinction (D). Where a pupil is working towards a Pass, progress will be reported as L0 or L1. L1 indicates performance is one grade below a Pass, whereas L0 indicates performance is two grades below a Pass. As per the GCSE grades, progress may be reported with a plus or minus to reflect position within a grade.

Science BTEC is reported as Pass (P). Where a pupil is working towards a Pass, progress will be reported as L0 or L1. L1 indicates performance is one grade below a Pass, whereas L0 indicates performance is two grades below a Pass. As per the GCSE grades, progress may be reported with a plus or minus to reflect position within a grade.
