Grades were set by teachers in 2021, not by exams. We show the figure but don’t compare it.

The school’s figure: 50% · The school’s combined figure, as published. It differs from TSR’s comparable figure (50.5%) by 1 entry.

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.

How we built it

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

  • A*–A or equiv.: A level A*–A 213 + Pre-U D1–D3 20 = 233 of 277 entries
  • 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
