Questions · KCS Wimbledon
Why a combined A-level and IB headline needs unpacking
KCS publishes one top-grade figure for A level and IB together. How many pupils took each route, and each route’s own grades, show what is behind it.
Covers: KCS Wimbledon’s 2018 and 2025 counts of pupils on each route, each qualification’s grades as shares of its entries, and the school’s own combined figures. The separate 2023 publication is shown because it limits what can be said about recent years.

The answer
Between 2018 and 2025, KCS’s A-level pathway went from 114 to 182 pupils and its IB candidates from 79 to 53: a shift toward A levels. Counting A-level entries alone, the share graded A* was 5.2 percentage points higher in 2025 than in 2018.
The Schools Record now also publishes a comparable figure that counts A-level and IB Higher Level entries together (IB 7 as A*, 6 as A and 5 as B, the convention KCS uses in its own combined tables; UCAS scores an IB 5 like a C), weighted by entries and labelled as our calculation. For 2025 it is 54.4% A* or equivalent (449 of 825 entries), the same as KCS’s published 54.42%. It does not make an A* and a Higher Level 7 educationally identical: the figures inside each route are still where to see what changed.
The figures
Each figure keeps its own year and group, and doesn’t change with your shortlist.

The pathway and the examination takers are different counts
For 2025 the crosswalk records 182 A-level pathway pupils and 183 actual A-level takers. Its note explains that one IB-route pupil also sat an A level. The unique candidate total is 235; adding the two route-taker counts would count that person twice.
None of these pupil counts is the denominator of a grade-entry percentage. A-level entries count subjects taken at A level; IB Higher Level entries count Higher Level subjects. The school-defined combined band uses those entry populations, not the sum of pathway pupils.
Read the native result inside each route
The native A-level A* percentages are 45.6% in 2018 and 50.75% in 2025. The current eligible endpoints support a higher later A* share.
The IB Higher Level grade-7 percentages are shown separately. They describe another qualification and cannot be substituted for an A-level result. A school-defined combined headline may be useful as a record of how the school presented its results, while still being unsuitable for a strict native A-level comparison.
A changing mix can conceal as well as magnify
A combined headline depends on both the results within each route and the number of entries contributed by each route. A shift in those weights can make its movement differ from the movement inside either route. That is a reason to inspect the components, not permission to treat A* and Higher Level 7 as educationally identical.
The table retains the published combined figures alongside the native components. It does not reproduce the pooled-window decomposition given in an earlier version of this analysis or invent a new adjusted result. A claim about how much of the change came from weighting needs a separately specified and reviewed calculation.
The current record qualifies the recent-run claim
An earlier version of this analysis described a recent sequence of A* shares above a threshold. The current comparison excludes KCS’s 2023 A* measure, and the retained publication is marked as source-disputed. That row remains visible as evidence, but it cannot support an unqualified continuous-run conclusion.
Route choice, subject mix, intake and assessment conditions can all matter to these aggregates. The route counts and grade shares don’t show better teaching, or the result a particular future pupil will get. The next useful question is what the school offers within the route and subjects that pupil would actually study.

KCS Wimbledon and St Paul’s: A-level grades at A*, 2018–2025
Share of published A-level entries awarded A* in the named examination year.
KCS Wimbledon’s recorded result was typically 5.4 percentage points lower than St Paul’s across 3 shared years (2018, 2019, 2025). “Typically” means the median of the annual differences.
