Based on 2023 GCSEs, will grade boundaries be higher or lower in 2024?

I’ll be sitting my exams next year and I just found out that 2023 exams will have higher grade boundaries and go back to the lockdown grading system. Is there a possibility that it will be a bit easier next year?

It ultimately depends on data from students across the country - if the average scores are higher then the grade boundaries will go up accordingly. Since the grade boundaries increased recently, though, it is more likely for them to decrease in 2024.
