Dulwichgirl2, you make an interesting point. The hidden truth is that Alleyns girls have been doing better than JAGS for some years now, but the slightly lower performance of Alleyns boys - as with all national statistics of boys at A level - has brought Alleyns overall results down to a slightly lower level than JAGS. This year, Alleyns boys have excelled themselves, hence this record result. You heard it here first, folks!

>>Now, ianr you have clarified your question I can try to answer it. It means the percentage of the year 13 cohort who gained A or A* in the exam subjects that they took. So if 100 students took (say) 350 A level subject exams between them, then in the case of Alleyns, 77.4% of those results were A/A*. If James was taking geography, history and english, and gained an A or A* in all three then he would have scored 100%. If Mary was taking French, Biology and Economics and gained A, B C respectively then her score would have been 33.3%.

ianr, if you are wondering what they mean by equivalent qualifications, then it means the IB and Pre-U which are alternatives to A level than schools can opt to do in some or all subjects. Their grades are then translated into A level equivalents.

Just seen the Telegraph Independent schools league tables, located here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/leaguetables/9498024/A-level-results-2012-Independent-school-results-table.html Alleyn's are 14th with 77.6% gaining A* or A at A level, JAGs are 19th with 76.6, Dulwich 74th with 62.4. All fantastic results of course, well done, but is this the first time ever that Alleyn's has been no.1 locally??
