There is no fixed grading system.They change it every year depending upon the candidate's performance.
This shows that Edexcel is so dumb

No, there is the UMS. This is basically a tabular version of the curves.
Every exam is harder or easier to candidates, and thus, no set raw mark can be made a boundary.
