Sources differ · logged

Eton’s 2022 A-level table gives 83.6% A*–A; its 2021/22 annual report prints 83.5%. No rounding or population difference explains the gap.

What was checked

The signed A-level table (8 Nov 2022) counts 634 A* or A grades of 758 entries, 83.64%, which is 83.6% at one decimal place, rounded or truncated. The annual report prints 83.5%. The A-level and Pre-U tables together (909 entries, Pre-U grades converted) would give 84.49%, so a different population does not explain it either. The table’s figure is the one shown; the A*–A year stays out of comparisons until the difference is explained.

Consistent at the published precision · logged

Eton’s 2021/22 annual report and its 2022 A-level table both print 95.4% A*–B.

What was checked

The table’s counts give 723 A*, A or B grades of 758 entries (95.38%), 95.4% at one decimal place; the annual report prints 95.4%. The figures agree at the published precision, so the report does not dispute the A*–B share. Its A*–A figure is a separate, unresolved difference.

Can I compare it?

  • A* and A*–B: yes, with another school’s figure for the same year, counting a-level subject entries on the same grading scale (A-level post-2010 A*–E).
  • A*–A: left out of comparisons: publications differ.
