We have worked with experts and stakeholders to develop subject content for a new GCSE in BSL. The focus of the GCSE is language study and pupils will be required to:

  • comprehend BSL
  • produce signs accurately
  • interact using BSL
  • develop an understanding of the history of BSL

Findings from this consultation will be taken into account when finalising the subject content.

Ofqual is also running its own consultation on assessment arrangements.
