GCSE, IGCSE, AS and A2 grade boundaries

NC Levels are not used in Years 10-13. Instead, we use GCSE, IGCSE, AS and A Level grading criteria.

Common I/GCSE	95 - 100	80- 94	65 - 79	55 - 64	45 - 54	35 - 44	25 - 34	15 - 24	0 - 14
Common I/GCSE	A*	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	U
Extended/Higher IGCSE	95 - 100	80- 94	65 - 79	55 - 64	45 - 54	35 - 44			0 - 34
Extended/Higher IGCSE	A*	A	B	C	D	E			U
Core/Foundation IGCSE				90 - 100	72 - 89	54 - 71	36 - 53	18 - 35	0 - 17
Core/Foundation IGCSE				C	D	E	F	G	U

AS/A2 Percentages	90 - 100	80- 89	70 - 79	60 - 69	50 - 59	40 - 49	0 - 39
Grade	A*	A	B	C	D	E	U

Different grade boundaries may be used if an assessed task is unrepresentative of actual GCSE, IGCSE, AS or A2 standard work, for example if it covers a restricted range of work or more basic skills.

At BSK, only Grades A*-C are considered to be I/GCSE pass grades. At AS and A Level, Grades A*-E are passes. At AS Level, Grade A* is used internally to indicate a high Grade A, but is not available in the final examination.

‘U’ means ‘unclassified’ and is not a pass grade. Grade X on a report indicates non-attendance.
