The record’s own wording, where this page puts it in plainer words.

High grades: basis: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G only this year, so this is the school’s own figure
High grades: note: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G: the school’s final ISC return for 2006 gives 64.26% A*–A and 97.05% A*–C, against 64.4% and 97.3% in the annual review used here. The difference is not settled.
High grades: reason codes: source disagreement
High grades: precision: 1 decimal place, as printed
Top grades: reason: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G: no entry count printed
Top grades: reason codes: comparable figure not computable
C/4+: basis: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G only this year, so this is the school’s own figure
C/4+: note: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G: the school’s final ISC return for 2006 gives 64.26% A*–A and 97.05% A*–C, against 64.4% and 97.3% in the annual review used here. The difference is not settled.
C/4+: reason codes: source disagreement
C/4+: precision: 1 decimal place, as printed
Grade 9: reason: No entries were graded 9–1 this year, so there is no grade-9 figure.
A*–G: entries: unknown (no entry count printed)
Which exams were sat: evidence: A*-G: 2 school or ISC records (e.g. new:brighton:2006:gcse-combined-full-short:isc-final-20061002)
Which exams were sat: evidence: GCSE 9–1 was first awarded in 2017, so every entry was graded A*–G.
