Which exams were sat: note: The school’s 2025 results page says exams were sat in 25 subjects, and its table lists exactly 25, every one on 9–1 columns (1,299 entries), with no letter-graded line. The school’s ISC return counts the same 1,299 entries and none letter-graded; in 2022 the same return showed a letter-graded entry the web table left out, so its agreement checks the table’s coverage.
