Magdalen College School: comparable GCSE figures, 2017
Qualification only
No figure
GCSE top grades (A* or 9–8) · Comparable figure · our calculation
MCS Oxford printed percentages without the number of grades, so we cannot combine its different qualifications.
The school’s figure: 84.5% · The school’s combined figure, as published. There is no comparable figure to compare it with.
The original grades
A*–G: 87.64
9–1: 70.71
This year’s exams: A*–G GCSEs and 9–1 GCSEs.
We know because only the school’s own records show it.
