Magdalen College School: comparable sixth form figures, 2024

Qualification only

No figure

A* or equivalent, all sixth-form exams · Comparable figure · our calculation

MCS Oxford printed percentages without the number of grades, so its exams can’t be added together. We don’t hold MCS Oxford’s whole-school Pre-U figure for 2024.

Grades as sat

A level: 43.9. Subjects and grades

Pre-U: no full grade table in this record

This year’s exams: A levels and Pre-U.

We know because the government’s tables confirm it.

Three figures for each grade band, never merged
Grade band	Comparable figure (our calculation)	The school’s figure (as the school published it)	Original grades
A*–A or equivalent, all sixth-form exams	No figureThe school’s own tables don’t give a comparable figure for this year.	No combined figure from the school	A level: A*–A 82.4%
A* or equivalent, all sixth-form exams	No figureThe school’s own tables don’t give a comparable figure for this year.	No combined figure from the school	A level: A* 43.9%
A*–B or equivalent, all sixth-form exams	No figureThe school’s own tables don’t give a comparable figure for this year.	No combined figure from the school	A level: A*–B 94.9%

How we built it

The number of entries at or above the band, across every exam system, divided by all the entries. We never average two percentages.

The records it is built from

A level: Magdalen College School, A level 2024: 43.9% of entries graded A*
Pre-U: no usable figures this year. Record details says why.

As recorded

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

A*–A or equiv.: reason: Pre-U: DfE’s 2024 table lists one Pre-U German entry with no grade (probably a resit or an earlier entry), and the school’s own table lists A levels only. If no Pre-U was sat that year the year is A level only, which waits for the owner’s ruling on Eton 2024, the same question.
A*–A or equiv.: reason codes: comparable figure not computable
A* or equiv.: reason: Pre-U: DfE’s 2024 table lists one Pre-U German entry with no grade (probably a resit or an earlier entry), and the school’s own table lists A levels only. If no Pre-U was sat that year the year is A level only, which waits for the owner’s ruling on Eton 2024, the same question.
A* or equiv.: reason codes: comparable figure not computable
A*–B or equiv.: reason: Pre-U: DfE’s 2024 table lists one Pre-U German entry with no grade (probably a resit or an earlier entry), and the school’s own table lists A levels only. If no Pre-U was sat that year the year is A level only, which waits for the owner’s ruling on Eton 2024, the same question.
A*–B or equiv.: reason codes: comparable figure not computable
A level: entries: unknown (no entry count printed)
Pre-U: why no figure: DfE’s 2024 table lists one Pre-U German entry with no grade (probably a resit or an earlier entry), and the school’s own table lists A levels only. If no Pre-U was sat that year the year is A level only, which waits for the owner’s ruling on Eton 2024, the same question.
Which exams were sat: evidence: A level: 23 school or ISC records (e.g. new:mcs-oxford:2024:a-level:subject-art); 43 DfE rows (e.g. new:mcs-oxford:2024:dfe-ks5-institution-aggregated-results-24807)
Which exams were sat: evidence: Pre-U: 3 DfE rows (e.g. new:mcs-oxford:2024:dfe-ks5-institution-aggregated-results-24821)
