Downe House: exam results

Every row: Where it’s from: Original publication Worth knowing: Original says A-level A*–B or equivalent grades, dropping the preceding reports’ explicit Pre-U label. The annual report alone does not tell us which equivalent qualifications are still included. No pure A-level comparison eligibility is inferred. How the source defines it: School-published annual results/outcome narrative; the source population and band wording are retained.

1. Also printed: A*–A 75% · A*–B 92%. Published sources differ. Read the source notes before using these figures. It’s unclear which group this figure counts, so it isn’t compared. This figure covers a different group from the school-wide series. Where it’s from: Publications differ. We show each version. Worth knowing: Same publication gives 74% A*-A in headmistress quotation; discrepancy unresolved. How the source defines it: Narrative result paragraph
2. Also printed: A* 38% · A*–A 74%. Published sources differ. Read the source notes before using these figures. It’s unclear which group this figure counts, so it isn’t compared. This figure covers a different group from the school-wide series. Where it’s from: Publications differ. We show each version. Worth knowing: Same publication gives 75% A*-A in narrative result paragraph; discrepancy unresolved. How the source defines it: Headmistress quotation
3. Also printed: A*–C 98.71%. Where it’s from: Original publication Worth knowing: Original separately labels A*–C results and announces new Pre-U teaching during the 2010/11 academic year; no combined qualification metric is inferred. How the source defines it: School-published annual results/outcome narrative; the source population and band wording are retained.
4. Where it’s from: Original publication Worth knowing: Original band is A–C. This is the first A* year, but the report still prints A–C; no assumption is made that its stated band includes A*. No entry or pupil denominator is stated. How the source defines it: School-published annual results/outcome narrative; the source population and band wording are retained.
5. Where it’s from: Original publication Worth knowing: Original band is A–C. No entry or pupil denominator is stated. How the source defines it: School-published annual results/outcome narrative; the source population and band wording are retained.

Every row: What it counts: GCE Alevel excl General Studies Total Where it’s from: Original publication Worth knowing: ISC published school return. Candidate populations are separate from subject entries; overlapping group totals are not added. A missing school return, or an optional qualification section filled with zeros, does not tell us whether the school offered the qualification. The exact source header defines qualification scope; Applied/International qualifications are not silently excluded. General Studies and AS groups remain separate. No A* grade is invented for AS or pre-2010 GCE A-level. How the source defines it: GCE Alevel excl General Studies Total

1. Subject entries: 266 Candidates: 81
2. Subject entries: 279 Candidates: 82
3. Subject entries: 290 Candidates: 92

1. What it counts: GCE A-level excluding General Studies Subject entries: 211 Candidates: 70 Where it’s from: Original publication Worth knowing: Published numeric cells are retained. School candidate counts are separate from subject entries. No zero-filled optional qualification column is treated as proof of historical non-provision. General Studies and AS results are kept separate; A* was not a GCE A-level grade in 2006 and is not filled with zero. How the source defines it: GCE A-level excluding General Studies

1. Worth knowing: The report calls these GCSE passes at the stated grade bands. Entries and candidate denominator are not printed here; do not calculate pupil counts or combine with other result populations. The report says numeric grades or equivalent grades; exact inclusion of legacy/equivalent entries is not broken out.
2. Worth knowing: The report calls these GCSE passes at the stated grade bands. Entries and candidate denominator are not printed here; do not calculate pupil counts or combine with other result populations. The report says numeric grades or equivalent grades; exact inclusion of legacy/equivalent entries is not broken out. Original visual inspection confirms 55% at grades 8–9; OCR initially misread the first digit as 9. Only the original 55 is curated.
3. Worth knowing: Explicit previous-year parenthesis; printed precision retained. Values are consistent with the earlier figures at their shown precision, but the report does not expressly establish a revision or rounding policy.
4. Worth knowing: The report calls these GCSE passes at the stated grade bands. Entries and candidate denominator are not printed here; do not calculate pupil counts or combine with other result populations.

1. Also printed: Grade 7 count 155 · Grade 8 count 216 · grades 9–6 96% · Grade 9 count 394. Awarded in 2020–21, when exams were cancelled and schools assessed grades, so kept out of comparisons with exam years. What it counts: Numbered grade entries Subject entries: 858 Where it’s from: Original publication Worth knowing: 2021 pandemic assessment; do not compare without that distinction. How the source defines it: I/GCSE subject-entry total; published rounded percentages

1. What it counts: Numbered grade entries Where it’s from: Original publication Worth knowing: Grade 9 described as just over 30%; no exact value inferred. How the source defines it: Published 9–7 and 9–8 GCSE grade shares.

Every row: Where it’s from: Original publication Worth knowing: The report calls these GCSE passes at the stated grade bands. Entries and candidate denominator are not printed here; do not calculate pupil counts or combine with other result populations. The original equates A*–C with grades 4–9, A*–A with 7–9 and A* with 8–9. Preserve the reported combined equivalence; this is neither a pure old-letter nor pure numeric-grade result. How the source defines it: School-published annual results/outcome narrative; the source population and band wording are retained.

Every row: This figure covers a different group from the school-wide series. What it counts: Legacy grade entries Where it’s from: Original publication Worth knowing: ISC published school return. Candidate populations are separate from subject entries; overlapping group totals are not added.
