Which exams were sat: evidence: A level: 1 school or ISC record (e.g. fig:kcs_combined_alevel_ib:10); 3 DfE rows (e.g. research:kcs:2014:dfe-ks5-1-a-level-3797)
Which exams were sat: evidence: IB HL: 8 school or ISC records (e.g. fig:kcs_combined_alevel_ib:10); 34 DfE rows (e.g. research:kcs:2014:dfe-ks5-6-ib-diploma-13)
Which exams were sat: note: KCS’s own records give an all-IB year and call 2014 “the last all-IB year” (190 IB candidates that year). DfE’s KS5 tables list 3 GCE A-level entries at KCS in 2014; they are not part of the cohort’s published results, so the year is IB only.
