Published sources differ on A*. Read the source notes before using that figure.
Ranges and bounds such as “over 90%” are shown as printed, so they aren’t charted as exact figures.
Publications differ on A*. Current undated Academic Results page checked on 15 October 2026; year attributed to the current 2026 results context, not printed explicitly on the page. The earlier 13 August results post and our compiled record ext:harrow_alevel:10 remain unchanged: nearly a third A*, more than 70% A*–A, over 90% A*–B, and 31 boys with at least three A*. The former webpage reported 18% of boys, while the current page gives 19%. Exact 73% and 94% fit the earlier lower bounds; the A* wording and pupil share remain unresolved. No denominator, grade counts or exact A* percentage is inferred. Open the publication
