The record’s own wording, where this page puts it in plainer words.

High grades: basis: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G only this year, so this is the school’s own figure
High grades: precision: 1 decimal place, as printed
Top grades: reason: Held: the school’s page prints 52.0% A*, but its own total row gives 915 of 1,743 (52.5%); its A*–A and A*–C agree.
Top grades: reason codes: comparable figure not computable
C/4+: basis: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G only this year, so this is the school’s own figure
C/4+: precision: 1 decimal place, as printed
Grade 9: reason: No entries were graded 9–1 this year, so there is no grade-9 figure.
A*–G: entries: unknown (no entry count printed)
Which exams were sat: evidence: A*-G: 28 school or ISC records (e.g. research:harrow:2010:archived-gcse-cumulative)
Which exams were sat: evidence: GCSE 9–1 was first awarded in 2017, so every entry was graded A*–G.
