Teaching is being built, subject by subject

The catalogue currently identifies 51 International GCSE pages and 23 International A Level pages. These are catalogue pages, not a count of awards: some pages contain several qualifications or options.

Award identities and 2026–2027 entry listings have been reconciled for 70 of 74 pages, identifying 98 awards or cash-in identities on those pages. 4 future entries still need award and entry details; the total award count is not yet established. Entry options, endorsements and optional study topics do not automatically create additional awards.

Which entries still need award and entry details?

Business (2027) · Future: first teaching September 2027; first assessment May/June 2028; first certification May/June 2029; specification and codes pending publication
Biology (2027) · Future 2027 revision: teaching from September 2027; IAS certification from August 2028; specification and codes pending publication

Maths A has integer, fraction, decimal, powers, roots, set-language, percentage, ratio/proportion, degree-of-accuracy, standard-form, applying-number, calculator, algebraic-symbol, algebraic-manipulation, formulae, linear-equation, Higher proportion-graph, simultaneous-equation, quadratic-equation, inequality, sequence, Higher function-notation and partial Graphs pathways with coordinates, travel/speed interpretation, conversion and quadratic plotting, plus Higher integer polynomial/cubic, sparse mixed reciprocal and degree sine/cosine/tangent graph families. Four later Higher transformation, algebra-from-transformation, drawn-tangent-gradient and nonlinear-intersection rows remain gaps. Other teaching remains planned. Written practice uses explained model answers for self-checking; specialist approval and formal assessment readiness have not been established. Confirm the current centre rules and any unresolved entries before choosing an assessment route.
