Grades as sat
A level: A* 124 · A 89 · B 36 · C 5 · D 0. Subjects and grades
Pre-U: D1 9 · D2 7 · D3 4 · M1 1 · M2 2. Subjects and grades
This year’s exams: A levels and Pre-U.
We know because only the school’s own records show it. Grades in 2020 and 2021 were assessed by schools and teachers, so these figures are left out of comparisons unless you ask for them.

The number of entries at or above the band, across every exam system, divided by all the entries. We never average two percentages.

- A* or equiv.: A level A* 124 + Pre-U D1–D2 16 = 140 of 277 entries
- A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 249 + Pre-U D1–M2 23 = 272 of 277 entries
