As recorded

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

High grades: reason: The college’s 2023 statements are headlines with no subject table or entry total, and its governors’ report glosses the GCSE figure as “9-7 (or A* or A)”, which does not separate the grading scales. DfE’s table cannot show IGCSEs, and the college’s own count of grade 9s is 60 to 70 above DfE’s, so its figure covers entries DfE does not list; its 2022 ISC return still counted two letter-graded entries. Settled by the college’s own 2023 table naming every qualification.
