A new grading scale running from nine to one was introduced last August as part of reforms to GCSEs. With new syllabuses and all exams taking place at the end of the year parents, pupils and teachers have been concerned about the amount of pressure they are under. As more reforms are rolled out this summer, we’d like to hear how you’ve been affected by the changes.
