How the figure is calculated
The number of entries at or above the band, across every exam system, divided by all the entries. We never average two percentages.
- High grades: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G A*–A 97.1% of 886 entries, as printed
- Top grades: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G A* 78.8% of 886 entries, as printed
- C/4+: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G A*–C 882–886 of 886 entries (bounded by the printed neighbouring bands (882–886 of 886)) (99.5–100.0%: the school’s rounding leaves this much room)
