Year by year

The spread since 2022.

Every bar below is the national figure, every England board blended. 2022 grades were the assessed-grades peak, and the reset since is visible in the shape of each year. Board by board, the same years look different; the explorer has that view.

Every board that published Latin results.

Grade distributions reflect who enters a subject as much as the exam itself, so nothing on this page is a difficulty ranking. Figures are published cumulative percentages from JCQ and the awarding bodies; per-grade shares are derived by subtracting adjacent bands. How the data is sourced and worked out.
