How we built it

The number of entries at or above the band, across every exam system, divided by all the entries. We never average two percentages.

A*–A or equiv.: A level A*–A 459–464 + Pre-U D1–D3 168–169 = 627–633 of 747 entries (83.9–84.7%: the school’s rounding leaves this much room)
A* or equiv.: A level A* 277–282 + Pre-U D1–D2 132–133 = 409–415 of 747 entries (54.8–55.6%: the school’s rounding leaves this much room)
A*–B or equiv.: A level A*–B 545–550 + Pre-U D1–M2 168–177 = 713–727 of 747 entries

The records it is built from
