What does this figure tell me?

GCSE grade units reported in the contemporary ISC full/short-course return. Complete IGCSE inclusion is unverified; this source population is separate from school-wide GCSE/IGCSE totals.

Type of result: Examination grade distribution.

The reported values

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

Note
The annual return is used, never the separate five-year average. Counts and cumulative percentages retain the ISC aggregation basis. The denominator is the printed annual Ents field, or the sum of the complete printed grade distribution where no separate total is printed. Candidate counts are not percentage denominators. Blank grade counts remain unrecorded; explicit zeros are retained. Percentages are calculated from grade counts and rounded to one decimal place. Conflicting school publications retain their own separate records. Verification applies to the reported source population; this addition is not promoted to matched whole-school comparison evidence.
