Note
Legacy A*–G scale (pre-reform). The school writes '62% of candidates receiving A*' - almost certainly a grades percentage, but recorded as printed. 'approximately a third of the year group' with 10+ A*s. Subject notes: 'Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and German all seeing A* rates well in excess of 70%'.
Published wording
At GCSE, we had another outstanding year, with 62% of candidates receiving A* - our second best year ever and a significant increase on 2015. Our A*/A rate was also pleasing at 85%, and approximately a third of the year group achieved A* grades in ten or more subjects.
