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: a later Radleian prints 81.4% A*–A for 2007, against 80.5% in the review of the time used here (the ISC return’s counts back 80.5%). The difference is not settled.
High grades: reason codes: source disagreement
High grades: precision: 1 decimal place, as printed
Top grades: basis: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G only this year; from the grade counts in the school’s ISC return
Top grades: precision: Exact, from printed counts
C/4+: basis: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G only this year; from the grade counts in the school’s ISC return
C/4+: precision: Exact, from printed counts
Grade 9: reason: No entries were graded 9–1 this year, so there is no grade-9 figure.
A*–G: entries: 1228 (entries from new:radley:2007:isc:gcse-full-short (its counts reproduce every printed percentage))
Which exams were sat: evidence: A*-G: 3 school or ISC records (e.g. new:radley:2007:isc:gcse-full-short)
Which exams were sat: evidence: GCSE 9–1 was first awarded in 2017, so every entry was graded A*–G.
