This year has seen the biggest shake-up of exams for a generation with traditional A* to G grades being gradually replaced in England with a 9 to 1 system.

Key GCSE subjects of English and maths are the first to move across, with other subjects following over the next two years.

The grading switch is part of wider reforms designed to make GCSEs more rigorous and challenging.
