GCSE British Sign Language (BSL) proposed subject content

Overview

We're seeking views on the proposed subject content for a new GCSE in BSL.

Why your views matter

We have worked with experts and stakeholders to develop subject content for a new GCSE in BSL. The GCSE aims to provide a knowledge rich, coherent, satisfying and worthwhile course of study. The primary focus of the GCSE is language study. Pupils will be required to comprehend BSL, produce signs accurately and interact using BSL. Pupils will also develop an understanding of the history of BSL.

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