Historical coverage is still being researched. A checked result for one year does not mean that every year is covered.
Use the same qualification, grade band and years for each school. Exam grades describe a cohort’s results; they do not tell you which school will suit an individual child.
What this school’s own published figures show, measure by measure, comparing only the years published on a single definition and naming those years.
A-level grades at A* · 2024–2026
Across 3 comparable years, 2024 to 2026, this school's published figure for A-level grades at A* ended at exactly the figure it started at (42%). The record does not establish a direction.
Compared: all 3 years for which this school has a chartable figure on this measure (2024–2026).
Across the years compared the figure ranges from 39% (2025) to 42% (2024).
This describes published figures only. It does not explain why they moved: cohorts, entry policies, subject mixes and grading regimes all change underneath them, and none of that is in this record.
GCSE / IGCSE entries at grade 9 · 2026
One year of GCSE / IGCSE entries at grade 9 is held (2026, at 59%), so the record shows no change over time.
One figure cannot establish a direction. A second year on the same definition is what would make this a trend.
The charts keep A-level, numbered GCSE grades and older GCSE grades apart, because a grade on one qualification is not a grade on another.
Each school is shown against the same scale and years.

A long date range can still contain gaps. This table shows how many years are available for each chart measure and where a comparison needs care.

A dash means this measure has no chartable series yet, so none of these counts applies to it; the year-by-year record below still says what was searched for it. “Qualified figures” includes ranges and descriptions such as “over 90%”. The last column counts years inside the measure’s span for which we hold no record of any kind; they are not zero results. A year can hold records and still not be comparable — those are counted in the columns to its left, which is why this column is smaller than the number of years missing from a chart. The year-by-year record below names every year either way. Categories can overlap, so do not add the columns together.
This is our record of our own work, not a statement about the school. 146 of the 304 school-year cells researched here hold a figure; 122 were searched without one being recovered; 6 have not been searched yet; 30 did not apply. No search for this school is yet recorded as closed: every year without a figure here remains open. A year without a figure is never a zero, and never evidence that the school published nothing.
