GCSE, AS and A level reform: regulations for ancient history and classical civilisation
A consultation on rules and guidance for new GCSEs, AS and A levels in ancient history and classical civilisation.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
This consultation is about the rules and guidance we plan to put in place for new GCSEs, AS and A levels in:
- ancient history
- classical civilisation
These rules will apply to the new GCSEs, AS and A levels in these subjects that will be taught in schools in England from September 2017.
This consultation takes forward decisions made following our earlier consultation ‘Developing new GCSEs, AS and A Levels for first teaching in 2017 - Part 2’, and is part of Ofqual’s work supporting the government’s changes to GCSEs, AS and A levels.
