Notes and original wording (3)

Note: descriptive or lower-bound figures are recorded as the school printed them and are not charted · Same school-written 2018 text. 'more than 84%' at 9/8/7/A*/A implies about 82% in 2017 ('a two percentage point increase on last year') - not recorded as a 2017 figure since it is inferred. 'nine or more A* grades' wording retained from the legacy scale.
Published wording: Overall, however, the proportion of grades awarded at 9, 8, 7, A* and A was more than 84% - a two percentage point increase on last year. Approximately one third of the year group achieved nine or more A* grades, and more than half gained seven or more, typically from ten subjects.
Year: 2018
