Grades were set by teachers in 2020, not by exams. We show the figure but don’t compare it.

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 538 + Pre-U D1–D3 185 = 723 of 868 entries
  • A* or equiv.: A level A* 303 + Pre-U D1–D2 124 = 427 of 868 entries
  • A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 643 + Pre-U D1–M2 202 = 845 of 868 entries
