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 672 + GCSE/IGCSE 9–1 9–7 478 = 1,150 of 1,178 entries
- Top grades: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G A* 601 + GCSE/IGCSE 9–1 9–8 414 = 1,015 of 1,178 entries
- C/4+: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G A*–C 681–684 + GCSE/IGCSE 9–1 9–4 492–494 = 1,173–1,178 of 1,178 entries (99.6–100.0%: the school’s rounding leaves this much room)
- Grade 9: GCSE/IGCSE 9–1 9 56.7% of 494 entries, as printed
