In June the Department for Education (DfE) has announced a brand-new GCSE British Sign Language qualification. “The GCSE will be a combination of learning how to sign and gaining a comprehensive understanding of the history of sign language in Britain, and we aim for the GCSE to be available for first teaching from September 2025.”
The consultation is still open.
To accompany thier announcement, the (DfE) published:
- A consultation on proposed assessment arrangements for GCSEs in British Sign Language
- A press release
- An Education Hub piece on everything you need to know about the British Sign Language GCSE
- Content across our social media channels, including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.“
