Do all GCSEs use the 9-1 Grading System

I was wondering if all the subjects use the 9-1 system, as I saw 2 different grading boundaries documents, both dated post 2015.
the welsh exam board, WJEC doesn't, it uses the old A*-U, how everyone else does it I'm not sure

Most subjects are. 2017 was the first year of subjects going to 9-1, and that was English Language, English Literature, and Maths. In 2018, more subjects went to 9-1, like Geography and History and the languages. 2019 is the last year of subjects finally going to 9-1. For example, the first exam for BS 9-1 is in 2019, so Business has still not gone to 9-1 yet.

No, not yet. They will do in 2020 though.

Ccea uses A* to U as well, but have added a C* grade to keep in line with the 9-1 system
