GCSE qualification grades
The fields ‘GCSE maths qualification grade’ and ‘GCSE English qualification grade’ collect the highest examination grade awarded to the learner for a GCSE maths or English qualification as at the funding qualifying start period.
The only exception to this is for full-time learners who have both:
-
Grade D or 3 in English Literature, AND
-
Grade E or 2 or lower in English Language
In this exceptional circumstance, the English Language grade should be recorded in the GCSE English qualification grade field. These learners are not subject to the grade D or 3 requirement for condition of funding and may enrol on a stepping stone qualification to meet the condition of funding. Refer to the
maths and English condition of funding guidance
for further information.
