How school works in England, from SATs to GCSEs and A levels, and when tutoring helps most.
How GCSEs and A levels work
GCSEs and A levels in England are regulated by Ofqual and set by exam boards such as AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR and WJEC Eduqas. GCSEs are graded 9 to 1. A 4 is a standard pass and a 5 a strong pass, and most subjects are decided by exams at the end of Year 11.
A levels are graded A* to E, and every exam is sat at the end of Year 13. Universities make offers through UCAS in grades or tariff points, so steady work across both sixth form years matters.
- Ofqual
- Regulates GCSEs and A levels
- Exam boards
- Set the papers and specifications
- GCSE grades
- 9 to 1, with 4 a standard pass
- A level grades
- A* to E
Key dates in the school year
Schools in England run from September to July in three terms: autumn, spring and summer, each with a half term. The national checks in primary school and the GCSE and A level exams follow the same pattern every year, and your child’s school will share the exact weeks.
- Year 1, June
- Phonics screening check
- Year 4, June
- Multiplication tables check
- Year 6, May
- KS2 SATs
- May to June
- GCSE and A level exams, results in August
Grammar schools and the 11+ in London
Most London state secondary schools are comprehensive, but some outer boroughs, including Sutton, Bexley, Kingston, Barnet and Redbridge, keep grammar schools. Each borough or school sets its own entry arrangements, so check the admissions pages for the schools you are considering.
The 11+ is usually sat in September of Year 6, and registration often opens in Year 5. Test content varies by area, but most papers include some mix of English, Maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. Many independent schools also set their own entrance tests in Year 6.
- Registration
- Usually opens in Year 5
- The 11+
- Usually September of Year 6
- 31 October
- Secondary school application deadline
- 1 March
- National Offer Day
When do families usually start?
Most families start when a subject begins to feel hard, rather than the week before a test. In primary school that is often reading, spelling or times tables. In secondary school it is usually Year 7, when algebra and essay writing arrive, or Year 10, when GCSE courses begin.
In Year 11 and Year 13, lessons follow the school’s mock calendar: prepare for each mock, then use the results to plan revision. After mocks, lessons move to past papers under exam timing, with short review sessions in the weeks before exams start.
- Weekly
- This week’s class work first, then one weak spot
- Before each test
- A timed practice set and a review
- Final term
- Past papers, marked and talked through in the lesson
