Results support and guidance

Following the release of results to your students, if you need information to do with post-results services, access to scripts, location of grade boundaries, or other information related to results, then please refer to the links below where guidance can be found:

Grade Boundaries

You can access Summer 2023 grade boundaries on our website from results day. In addition to the official grade boundaries that are produced at subject level, we also provide notional grade boundaries at paper level. These can help you mark and assess future mocks. 

Access grade boundaries

For 2023, the approach all exam boards have taken to grading was to return to pre-pandemic grading, while giving students protection against any impact of disruption. Results this summer are therefore far more in line with summer exams that were sat in 2019, but lower than in 2022, when grades awarded were based on a mid-point between 2019 and 2021 outcomes. This is explained in our guidance documents below.
