Today (12 January 2023) is results day for students who took GCSE English language and maths in England in the November series. GCSE English language and maths are available every November. Entry is restricted to students aged 16 and over. Most entries are from students seeking to improve their grade from the previous summer, or from students that had planned to enter in the summer but were unable to do so.
The adaptations that were available in summer 2022 to support students in light of the pandemic-related disruption students experienced (advance information and formulae and equation sheets in maths) were also available in the November series.
Overall results for the November series for GCSE English language and maths have been published by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ). This includes a breakdown of results for each subject. Most students entering in November are re-sitting their exams, so the cohort of students is different to the summer. It is therefore not meaningful to make comparisons between the results in November and the summer.
GCSE English language and maths are usually available every November, but entry is normally restricted to students aged 16 or over. This November, students were also eligible to enter if they were disappointed with their summer 2021 grade and wanted to improve this, or if they were unable to get a grade in the summer.

This GCSE maths course is intended to promote a variety of styles of teaching and learning so that the courses are enjoyable for all participants. It will enable learners to progress to higher-level courses of mathematical studies. Following this linear course, learners could benefit from having a greater understanding of the links between subject areas, in particular graphical and algebraic representation, which are prevalent throughout A level mathematics.
This is because a grade 4 pass in English and maths is expected of all students, and those who fail to achieve it the first time round must either resit the GCSE or take another recognised qualification (see more on alternatives to GCSEs below).
For English and maths GCSE resits in the autumn term, although the marking is the same as the summer exams in terms of what is assessed, there is a difference in the method used for setting grade boundaries.

We asked our expert contributor, Christine Norledge, to reflect on the Edexcel maths advance information provided for the November 2022 exams. Christine breaks down the information and considers which topic areas are most likely to pop up this November. She also provides guidance and general advice on how best to prepare your students for their upcoming maths resit.
For many students, this means continuing to study GCSE maths alongside A Levels, other qualifications or chosen programme of study until they pass the qualification. November is the first opportunity for new Year 12 students to resit their maths GCSE, and, for many students on the borderline between grade 3 and grade 4, it is the best opportunity to gain a pass while content is fresh in their minds.
In this talk we will look at the potential impact of the smartphones such as the iPhone and Android devices on maths education. We will review some popular and innovative apps both for Maths education and as replacements to the traditional desktop maths applications.
