Here are the trends in history GCSE grades in 2019.

The data shows a small rise in grade 9’s and 4’s in GCSE history this year, but a slump in almost every other pass grade. The proportions of grade 5’s and 6’s have fallen by two percentage points each, to 13.3 per cent and 13.5 per cent respectively, while grade 7’s have remained static at the same level as last year.

Entries in the subject have risen, from 244,401 last year to 261,537 this year.

The data for the results is based only on 16-year-olds in England. The entries data is England all ages.
