      GCSE (9-1) Maths and the sciences (including Combined Science): revised tier change deadline 14 February 2019

      Revised tier change deadline

      21 February is the deadline for making entries for higher or foundation tier GCSE Maths or Sciences, including Combined Science, for the June 2019 series. 

      To support you, we are extending the time you have to change the tier of individual students by a month, free of charge. We appreciate that making decisions about tiering in the early years of a new specification is not always straightforward. 

      Once you’ve made your entries for GCSE Maths or Sciences, you now have until 21 April 2019 to change the tier without charge.

      We have updated our key dates and fees list to show this new deadline. For GCSE Combined Science, you may also find our factsheet to help you make your tiering decisions useful.

      If you have any queries about this update, please call us on 01223 553998.
