The programme is focused on using the new GCSE grading scale (9 to 1) as a vehicle to drive engagement. The central messages we would like to convey are: - that the grading scale is changing from letters to numbers - the reasons for the changes in grade scaling, ie to signal that a reformed, more demanding GCSE has been studied and to better differentiate student performance at the top end (there will be nine grades instead of eight); - that students who get a grade 4 or above in the first year of awarding would have got a grade C or above on the existing letter scale. ## CPV classification Business development consultancy services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/d95ab916-5643-4ce8-8a8e-eb3d0126b43d) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
