GCSE reform: regulations for astronomy

This consultation is about the rules and guidance we plan to put in place for new GCSEs in astronomy. These rules will apply to the new astronomy GCSEs that will be taught in schools in England from September 2017.

This consultation takes forward decisions made following our earlier consultation ‘Development of new GCSEs and A levels for teaching from 2017’, and is part of Ofqual’s work supporting the government’s changes to GCSEs, AS and A levels.
