Looking for the latest? See the latest available exam results for Downe House.

Checked against the original: 7 figures, including entries, grade 9 count and grade 8 count.

What it counts

Source: Department for Education performance tables (subject-level data). Qualification, as the DfE names it: GCSE (9-1) Full Course. The DfE counts its own GCSE-year group (the end of Key Stage 4), which may include qualifications taken in earlier years. The qualifications the performance tables count have changed, so this isn’t necessarily every exam entry at the school. Counts are subject results, not pupils. The DfE counts a different group, so its figures may not match the school’s own headline. We don’t combine DfE figures with other sources, or calculate percentages or yearly trends from them.
