Annual List of Non GCSE Qualifications That Count Towards Key Stage 4 Performance Tables

The Department for Education publishes an annual list of non GCSE qualifications that count towards performance tables. Only qualifications that have been judged to be high quality, rigorous, are the same size as a GCSE or larger and are proven to enable the majority of young people to progress to further study and into employment, are included on the list. These reforms affect qualifications taught from September 2012.
