A week on from A-level results day, GCSE students across Norfolk and Waveney are finding out their all-important results today.
Like A-level results, the return to pre-pandemic grading has meant this year’s national GCSE results are lower than last year, instead being similar to grades in 2019 – the year before the Covid-19 outbreak.
In England, the percentage of GCSE entries awarded the top grades (7/A or above) this year was 21.6pc – down from 26pc last year, but up on the 20.7pc in 2019.
The GCSE pass rate (entries awarded 4/C or above) was 67.8pc – also down from 73pc in 2022, and similar to the 67.1pc in 2019.
In the East of England, the percentage of students awarded top grades was 21.9pc, and the pass rate came in a 68.6pc. Both followed the national trend, being lower than last year (26.2pc for 7/A or above and 73.7pc for 4/C or above), but above levels in 2019 (20.5pc and 67.1pc).
The trend in results comes after the pandemic led to a rise in top GCSE grades in 2020 and 2021, with results based on teacher assessments rather than exams.
Last year’s GCSE students were the first cohort to sit exams after the pandemic, but they were afforded special measures to balance the disruption caused by Covid. Their results were down on 2021 grades, but higher than 2019 levels.
Today (August 24), students return to school halls across the region to open their brown envelopes and find out their results.

How are GCSE exams graded?
The traditional letter grades, A - U, were replaced by numbers in 2017. GCSE exams are now graded from one to nine:
9 and 8 - equivalent to an A*
7 - equivalent to an A
6 - equivalent to a B
5 - equivalent to a low B or high C
4 - equivalent to a C
3 - equivalent to a D or high E
2 - equivalent to an E or high F
1 - equivalent to a G
U - remains the same - ungraded.
Here are links to grade boundaries for each exam board, which were released earlier this morning:
Students will get their results from 8am - and nationwide grades will be announced at 9.30am.
