- a A level and Pre-U results together; the school prints a Pre-U to A level grade equivalence (D1, D2 = A*; D3 = A*/A; M1 = A/B and so on).
- b The school's own column heading reads "% Grades 8-9 (A/A*)", although grades 8 and 9 are GCSE grades; the table sits under the A level results and is recorded here as the share at A* or A, with the heading as printed.
- c A level and Pre-U together: the school words the A* figure "at A level (or Pre-U equivalent)".
- d Exams were cancelled this year and the school awarded the grades.
- e A level and Pre-U together: the A* figure also counts a Distinction (D1 or D2) at Pre-U, as the school words it.
- f A2 and Pre-U results combined, as the school headed the table "A2/PreU combined". Shares are the cumulative "c. %" column.
- g A2 results only; the Pre-U subjects are tabulated separately in the same document and are not included in these figures. Shares are the cumulative "c. %" column.
- h Printed under "Historical A2" (A2 grades). The school notes "the A* was first available in 2010", so the A* row starts in 2010 and, before 2010, "A*/A (%)" is the share at A.
- i Percentages are headed "(A+AS)": A and AS grades together; the A* row is headed "(A2 only)". Before 2010 A was the top grade, so "% A* and A" is the share at A. The school prints the A* values for 2007 to 2009 in brackets, not recorded as figures here.
- j Before 2010 A was the top A level grade, so "% A" is the share at A. UCAS points per pupil are on the old scale (A=10, B=8) until 2001 and the new scale (A=120, B=100) from 2002, as the school notes.
Before 2010 there was no A* at A level, so for those years A*–A is the share at grade A and A*–B the share at A or B.
A dash means the documents we have found print no figure.

- c Share at grades 7 to 9 (the school adds "A/A*" to the column heading).
- d Exams were cancelled this year and the school awarded the grades.
- e Printed in a separate sentence of the same post as the 74% and 90% figures.
- f GCSE and IGCSE entries together: 47% of entries were graded by number (reformed GCSEs) and 53% by letter, as the school words it.
- g Letter grades A* to C. Shares are the cumulative "c.%" column; the document also has a separate table for reformed 1 to 9 GCSEs, not recorded.
- h Provisional; GCSE and IGCSE entries together.
- i Includes IGCSE entries (the subject table has an "Extra IGCSE" row); letter grades A* to C. Shares are the cumulative "c.%" column.
- j Printed under "Historical GCSE".
- k In the extracted text the 2011 column of this table sits on separate lines, so only 1994 to 2010 are read from the table; 2011 is read from the by-subject totals row.
- l The school notes that the A* grade was introduced in 1994; "% Pass (A* - C)" is the share at A* to C.
Numbered grades replaced letters between 2017 and 2020. Grades 9 to 7 stand where A* and A did, and 9 to 8 where A* did.

Oxford and Cambridge publish their own counts of applications, offers and acceptances from Highgate School.
See Oxford and Cambridge’s figures for Highgate School, year by year
How to read these figures
- These are Highgate School’s own figures. We copy them as printed and do not recalculate or round them.
- A percentage is a share of the grades awarded, not of pupils, unless its row says otherwise.
- In 2020 and 2021 public exams were cancelled and schools awarded the grades.
- Highgate School’s own documents do not always agree for the same year: some count AS grades or Pre-U results with A levels, and some were printed before re-marks. Each row shows one document, and other published figures we have found are listed under the table.
