When considering the 1-9 scales and fractured or phased introduce there are some interesting additional points raised by FFT. We are reminded that the “intervals between GCSE grades are not identical” and yet we still apply a consistent points scale (A*=58, A=52, B=46 and so on), we are provided with the distribution of grades, useful for any data head. Finally the team at FFT pose the difficult question of “how” accountability measures under two misaligned systems will be calculated in 2017 when reformed GCSEs in English and Mathematics will have to be combined with current GCSEs in other subjects. Now I would like to know how that one is going to be resolved.
