Grade Britain shows every UK A-level and GCSE subject the way the data actually reads: nationally, honestly, and at a glance. Pick a subject and see its full grade distribution, where it ranks against every other subject, and how it has moved across 2022-2025. Compare every exam board that offers it. Zoom out to the whole national landscape in a single grid. And read the surprising facts buried in the numbers that no results-day headline tells you. Built by a teacher, for teachers, heads of department, and curious students. WHAT'S INSIDE • Your subject, nationally. The headline grade rate, the full A*-U distribution, and an "out of every 100 students" view. • The ranking. Where your subject sits among every national subject, on any threshold you choose (A*, A*-A, A*-C, or a pass). • The grade landscape. Every subject, every year, in one heatmap. The post-COVID grading reset reads as a whole column shifting paler. • Compare exam boards. One subject across AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC, Eduqas and Cambridge, with the cohort and region caveats made plain. • Swipeable charts. Distribution, trend over time, entries over time, and a grade funnel, all on one card. • You might not expect… Surprising cross-subject facts: how rare a top grade really is, the steepest year-on-year falls, and how a subject stacks up against its reputation. • Copy as Markdown. Drop a clean stat table straight into your notes, lesson plans, or a department meeting. HONEST BY DESIGN A subject's grade distribution reflects who chose to sit it, not how hard the spec is. Grade Britain says so plainly throughout: it separates national figures from single-board ones, flags small and regional cohorts, and never dresses a cohort effect up as difficulty. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No tracking. No analytics. Grade Britain makes no network calls and works entirely offline. Your pinned subjects stay on your device and nowhere else.
