Key Stage 4 Performance Data
2020 results
Following the cancellation of 2020 GCSE exams as a result of the pandemic, the 2020 results were based on centre assessed GCSE grades and Ofqual’s calculated grades in the instance that these were higher than centre assessed grades. At Westminster Academy grade estimates were informed by autumn, winter and spring exam results, results of non-exam assessments, as well as the sequence and trajectory of progress since the end of Year 10. The grades were determined after a month-long process, reviewed and authenticated at departmental and senior leadership level, issuing the most likely grade a student would have received had they sat their exams and completed any non-exam assessment. Therefore, these results represent as accurate a reflection as possible of our students’ ability and their work over the duration of the GCSE course. Read more about our 2020 results here.

Key Stage 5 Performance Data
Please note that DfE performance tables involve converting IB points into A Level grades, on the assumption that students took three A Levels. They do not necessarily reflect the breadth of students' achievements across the IBDP and IBCP, both of which are significantly larger qualifications.
2020 results
Following the cancellation of the May 2020 IB examination session, the IB awarded grades to its students in over 5000 schools across the globe based on coursework, predicted grades and historic data. The review and analysis of grades used data from official Internal Assessments, marked by IB examiners, as well as predicted grades, to ensure the validity and fairness of final grades.
