Brighton College: comparable GCSE figures, 2018

Qualification only

No figure

GCSE top grades (A* or 9–8) · Comparable figure · our calculation

Brighton printed percentages without the number of grades, so we cannot combine its different qualifications. We don’t have Brighton’s whole-school lettered GCSE figure for 2018.

The original grades

A*–G: no full grade table in this record

9–1: 72. Subjects and grades

This year’s exams: A*–G GCSEs and 9–1 GCSEs.

We know because the government’s tables confirm it.

C/4+: reason codes: comparable figure not computable
Grade 9: reason: No count of the entries graded 9–1 is held for this year, so a grade-9 figure could not say how many entries it covers.
