This tries to give a comparison to GCSE grades although I think it overstates them as GCSE English also requires lots of controlled assesement work on books, poems and plays

Entry Level qualifications are below GCSEs, E1 is for speakers of other languages or those with low reading/writing ability, moving up to E3 which is classed as pre-GCSE. Then you move up to Level 1=GCSE grades D-G or equivalent such as Btec introductory diplomas/certificates or NVQ Level 1. Level 2=GCSE Grades A*-C, NVQ 2. Level 3=A Levels or similar. Same for maths. I worked in a school where most students were on Entry Level qualifications.
