GCSE, AS and A level reform: regulations for ancient history and classical civilisation

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.
