As recorded

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

High grades: reason: The surviving 2019 sheet lists 958 entries, all on 9–1, but the school’s own 2019 results post links a separate “overall” GCSE and IGCSE table and gives its grade-9 figure only “in the subjects graded on the new 9-1 system”, so some 2019 entries were letter-graded. The overall table can no longer be found, online or archived. Settled by that overall table.
High grades: reason codes: qualification mix not confirmed

9–1: inconsistency: GCSE/IGCSE 9–1: the publication used here prints grade counts that do not reproduce every percentage it prints over 958 entries
