You need to look at the DfE stuff I posted - that is the most up-to-date.

Thank you
It felt like I hit rock bottom; suddenly, there was knocking from beneath... (anon.)

Re: GCSE A*- G vs. 9 - 1 system
Super posts and discussions above!
My DS maths teacher also says not a good idea to do GCSE a year ahead and the main reason given is that in A levels the maths grades go down for kids who take the exam in year 10 as presumably they have had a year not really concentrating in maths.
Not sure if the argument has any validity but the teacher's point of view I guess.
