Qualification only

No figure

A* or equivalent, all sixth-form exams · Comparable figure · our calculation

Wycombe Abbey printed percentages without the number of grades, so we cannot combine its different qualifications.

The original grades

A level: 63.5. Subjects and grades

Pre-U: 100.0. Subjects and grades

This year’s exams: A levels and Pre-U.

We know because the government’s tables confirm it.

How the figure is calculated

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

Government (DfE) tables

DfE tables: pupils completing A levels in England; not the school’s own entry count. These count a different group from the school’s own tables, so they are never part of the comparable figure.

DfE’s table gives no grade for 2 of these entries (suppressed, or a 2020–21 teacher-assessed result counted in this year), so each figure is the range those entries allow.

  • A*–A or equiv.: 90.5–91.1% (A level A*–A 315 + Pre-U D1–D3 0–2 = 315–317 of 348 entries)
  • A* or equiv.: 65.2–65.8% (A level A* 227 + Pre-U D1–D2 0–2 = 227–229 of 348 entries)
  • A*–B or equiv.: 96.8–97.4% (A level A*–B 337 + Pre-U D1–M2 0–2 = 337–339 of 348 entries)
