St Paul’s Girls’ School: comparable GCSE figures, 2020

Qualification only

No figure

GCSE top grades (A* or 9–8) · Comparable figure · our calculation

Grades were set by teachers. We don’t have SPGS’s whole-school lettered GCSE figure for 2020, so we cannot give a combined annual figure.

The original grades

A*–G: no full grade table in this record

9–1: 98.2

This year’s exams: A*–G GCSEs and 9–1 GCSEs.

We know because only the school’s own records show it. Grades in 2020 and 2021 were assessed by schools and teachers, so these figures are left out of comparisons unless you ask for them.

As recorded

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

High grades: reason
GCSE/IGCSE A*–G: The school’s lettered Chinese entries for 2020 are printed on the school’s own sheet but not held as a record, so no letter-grade figure is used; grade 9 is counted over the 9–1 entries alone.
High grades: reason codes
comparable figure not computable; assessment-regime exclusion
Top grades: reason
GCSE/IGCSE A*–G: The school’s lettered Chinese entries for 2020 are printed on the school’s own sheet but not held as a record, so no letter-grade figure is used; grade 9 is counted over the 9–1 entries alone.
Top grades: reason codes
comparable figure not computable; assessment-regime exclusion
C/4+: reason
GCSE/IGCSE A*–G: The school’s lettered Chinese entries for 2020 are printed on the school’s own sheet but not held as a record, so no letter-grade figure is used; grade 9 is counted over the 9–1 entries alone.
C/4+: reason codes
comparable figure not computable; assessment-regime exclusion
Grade 9: basis
Grade 9 counts only the entries graded 9–1, and this year also had A*–G entries, so this is the school’s own figure for those entries

assessment-regime exclusion
Grade 9: precision
0 decimal places, as printed
A*–G: why no figure
The school’s lettered Chinese entries for 2020 are printed on the school’s own sheet but not held as a record, so no letter-grade figure is used; grade 9 is counted over the 9–1 entries alone.
