Dulwich College: comparable sixth form figures, 2021
Qualification only
No figure
A* or equivalent, all sixth-form exams · Comparable figure · our calculation
Grades were set by teachers. We haven’t yet established which qualifications pupils took, so we cannot combine their results.
This year’s exams: A levels and Pre-U.
We know because the records disagree, and we have not yet resolved which qualifications they cover. 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 the figure is calculated
The number of entries at or above the band, across every exam system, divided by all the entries. We never average two percentages.
The results used in the calculation
- A level: Dulwich College, A level 2021: 58% of entries graded A*
- Pre-U: no usable figures this year. Record details says why.

As recorded
The record’s own wording, where this page puts it in plainer words.
- A*–A or equiv.: reason
- The school’s own records show A level only, but DfE’s 2020/21 sixth-form entries list German (8 entries) and Classical Greek (2) at the school as “Other academic”, not as A level: the subjects it sat as Pre-U in the years either side. So 2021 was not A level only; but DfE does not name the qualification and no 2021 Pre-U results are held. The owner is asked to confirm the year as A level and Pre-U.
- A*–A or equiv.: reason codes
