High grades: basis: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G only this year, so this is the school’s own figure
High grades: precision: 1 decimal place, as printed
Top grades: basis: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G only this year, so this is the school’s own figure
Top grades: precision: 1 decimal place, as printed
C/4+: reason: GCSE/IGCSE A*–G A*–C was not printed, and the printed neighbouring bands leave a range wider than 1 point (86.9–100.0%)
C/4+: reason codes: range wider than 1 point
Grade 9: reason: No entries were graded 9–1 this year, so there is no grade-9 figure.
A*–G: entries: 1239 (printed entries)
Which exams were sat: evidence: A*-G: 1 school or ISC record (e.g. fig:winchester_gcse:21); 16 DfE rows (e.g. new:winchester:2015:dfe-ks4-gcse-certificates-1-29321)
Which exams were sat: evidence: GCSE 9–1 was first awarded in 2017, so every entry was graded A*–G.
