| GCSE top grades (A* or 9–8)A* or 9–8 is a convention: grade 9 is rarer than A* was. | 78.9–79.0% of 2,784 entries | No combined figure from the school | GCSE A*–G: A* 73.6% of 178 GCSE 9–1: 9–8 79.3% of 2,606 |

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.
- High grades: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G A*–A 168 + GCSE/IGCSE 9–1 9–7 2,420–2,422 = 2,588–2,590 of 2,784 entries (93.0%: the school’s rounding leaves this much room)
- Top grades: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G A* 131 + GCSE/IGCSE 9–1 9–8 2,066–2,067 = 2,197–2,198 of 2,784 entries (78.9–79.0%: the school’s rounding leaves this much room)
- C/4+: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G A*–C 177 + GCSE/IGCSE 9–1 9–4 2,548–2,606 = 2,725–2,783 of 2,784 entries
- Grade 9: GCSE/IGCSE 9–1 9 52.8% of 2,606 entries, as printed
