9–1: note: KCS’s printed total and percentages count its 109 AQA Level 2 Further Mathematics entries, a certificate that is not a GCSE or IGCSE. Where a school’s own total counts a qualification of that kind, the comparable figure follows the school’s total and says so. The GCSE and IGCSE rows alone give 68.1% at grade 9, 91.9% at 9–8 and 98.5% at 9–7, of 1,732 entries.
