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: note: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G: the school’s publications give different A*–A figures for 2016, and the difference is not settled.
High grades: note: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G: a recorded check of a figure used here against its original document found a conflict that is not settled.
High grades: reason codes: source disagreement
High grades: precision: 0 decimal places, as printed
Top grades: reason: Held: the school’s 62% counts candidates, not entries.
Top grades: reason codes: comparable figure not computable
C/4+: reason: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G A*–C not printed
C/4+: reason codes: comparable figure not computable
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: 1 school or ISC record (e.g. ext:harrow_gcse:0)
Which exams were sat: evidence: GCSE 9–1 was first awarded in 2017, so every entry was graded A*–G.
