What it counts: Whole school GCSE return across separately published A*–G and 9–1 scales
Note: ISC published school return. Candidate populations are separate from subject entries; overlapping group totals are not added. A missing school return or an optional zero-filled qualification block does not establish non-provision. Combined-scale pupil/percentage fields retain their original stated bands; they are not treated as pure 9–1 measures.
