Most employers don't care about your GCSE grades if you have A/S or A2 or degree; the GCSE is so distant to the higher qualifications that it doesnt really matter what you got for GCSE French; infact it could be worth just putting the grades for Science, Maths and English and then stating plus X others (grades A-D). They dont know that way wether you got all Ds or all As.

Mine just reads:

GCSE - subject list
- Grades 11 x [A* - B]

I bin any CV which comes in looking like too much effort has gone into its presentations; I had one the other days where the guy's name was in 3" gold text across the top of the page; it looked like he'd spent more time on the format than the content.

You need short, sharp attention grabbing points; tabulating could just be seen as taking up space

You should see some of the things we have done for our CV's at uni. But then these were 'Creative CV's'.
