What it counts: Combined full and short GCSE courses; letter grades kept separate. Candidate count covers all grade scales in source, not this grade subset alone.
Note: Original ISC school-reported survey; not a separately checked school publication. Preserve its published version and definition. No absent row or default-zero qualification field establishes whether a school offered that qualification. Different qualification populations and candidate counts must not be summed. Each cumulative percentage = 100 × sum of the named grade counts / published examination entries, rounded to one decimal. Counts were already in the source-backed public record; these are omitted percentage fields, not newly discovered examination years.
