9–1: note: The school’s 70% at 9–8 and 87% at 9–7 count its 70 AQA Level 2 Further Mathematics entries. 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 1,049 and 1,298 of 1,501 entries (69.9% and 86.5%).

Its only other line is AQA Level 2 Further Mathematics (70 entries), a certificate that is not a GCSE or IGCSE, which the school counts in its own figures.
