Original government underlying subject-results workbook. Source qualification: GCE A level. Published group: ASIZE=1; GSIZE=4; Grade structure=*,A,B,C,D,E. 2025 means the year students completed advanced study, not necessarily the year of each examination. The original population includes up to three years of 16–18 study. Earlier AS awards remain included even if pupils later took A2; this is not the current Year 12 AS cohort. Entry counts are qualification/subject results, not a school-wide pupil denominator. School headlines and these government cohorts can differ. No cross-source total, percentage or annual grade trend has been calculated. Published exam cohort: A level. This is a published qualification aggregate, separate from subject results and entry tables. It is never added to those rows.
Type of result: Grade distribution within a government completion cohort.

Values keep the precision of the source. “Not recorded” does not mean zero. One pupil may have several subject entries or university offers.

This is a published qualification aggregate, separate from subject results and entry tables. It is never added to those rows. Percentages newly calculated within the explicitly published qualification aggregate only. Year denotes completion of advanced study and cannot be relabelled as the sitting year of every examination. The denominator is the printed entries count, including separately labelled COVID-assessed or failed-result categories when present. COVID-assessed categories are not allocated to letter grades. Do not combine this aggregate with its subject rows or school headlines. Source counts were already verified 2026-09-06; arithmetic checked 2026-09-09.
