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.
- High grades: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G A*–A 1,813 + GCSE/IGCSE 9–1 9–7 820 = 2,633 of 2,750 entries
- Top grades: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G A* 1,498 + GCSE/IGCSE 9–1 9–8 777 = 2,275 of 2,750 entries
- C/4+: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G A*–C 1,908 + GCSE/IGCSE 9–1 9–4 841 = 2,749 of 2,750 entries
- Grade 9: GCSE/IGCSE 9–1 9 70.9% of 841 entries, as printed
