Students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland will receive their GCSE results on 25 August 2022.

In England, these are now graded using a numerical system from 9 to 1, rather than from A to E, as was previously the case.

What are the new grades?

The 9-1 grading scheme was brought in alongside a new GCSE curriculum in England.

The highest grade is now 9, while 1 is the lowest. The U grade, meaning "ungraded", remains the same.
