The 'Display Grades As' option in the reports allows you to choose how grades are displayed and the equivalencies used in some cases.
The point boundaries used to calculate DfE equivalent grades can be found in the table below, which has been compiled from the average grade tables taken from the DfE's Technical guide, which is linked in our article here - KS5 - DfE's 16 to 18 accountability headline measures: Technical Guide.
