Here are the trends in geography GCSE grades in 2019.
The data shows a rise in the top grades at GCSE geography this year, apart from grade 9 which has remained static. The biggest jumps of pass grades can be found at grade 7 – which made up 11.5 per cent of all results, up from 11 per cent last year – and grade 6, which saw a rise of three percentage points to 14.1 per cent. However, the proportion of results given at both grades 5 and 4 fell slightly.
Entries in the subject have risen, from 242,268 last year to 251,121 this year.
The data for the results is based only on 16-year-olds in England. The entries data is England all ages.
