There isn't a lot of documentation in the public domain but it is true. Michael Gove confirmed as much when he was in front of the Education Committee last week.
At the end of Key Stage 3 (for example) each student will be placed in one of three categories:
1) Has exceeded the standard expected
2) Has met the standard expected
3) Has failed to meet the standard expected
This information will be reported to the DfE and parents.
May God have mercy on any school with more than 20% of a cohort in the final category.
DM - I fixed your typo:

Interestingly, at KS4, GSCE grade C will become "the standard expected". Some work for schools to do there then.
It's not exactly replacing levels, is it.
More like changing the concept of what are acceptable levels.
