King’s College School, Wimbledon, IB Diploma 2022: Biology

Checked against the original: 8 figures, including entries, grade 7 count and grade 6 count.

What it counts

Source: Department for Education performance tables (subject-level data). Qualification, as the DfE names it: IBO Higher level component. Published group: ASIZE=1; GSIZE=4; Grade structure=7,6,5,4,3,1,2. 2022 is the year pupils finished the course; exams in it may not all have been sat that year. The DfE counts results from up to three years of 16–18 (sixth-form) study, so this isn’t one summer’s exams. Includes AS grades from earlier years, even where the pupil went on to the full A level, so this isn’t just this year’s Year 12. 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. Exam group, as published: Other academic. The original eligibility text contains inconsistent academic-start/date references; no pupil age or birthdate population is reconstructed from that wording.

What it counts: Original government underlying subject-results workbook. Source qualification: IBO Higher level component. Published group: ASIZE=1; GSIZE=4; Grade structure=7,6,5,4,3,1,2. 2022 means the year students completed advanced study, not necessarily the year of each examination.

No cross-source total, percentage or annual grade trend has been calculated. Published exam cohort: Other academic. The original eligibility text contains inconsistent academic-start/date references; no pupil age or birthdate population is reconstructed from that wording.
