Details
This information is for:
- schools
- colleges
- awarding organisations
This page contains information about qualifications, discount codes and point scores for the school and college performance tables.
We use discount codes to group qualifications with similar content together in the school performance tables. This is so that we don’t credit schools twice for 2 similar qualifications.
We give a point score value to all qualifications in the school performance tables so that you can compare qualifications of a different level, size and grading system. These are shown in the point scores document.
