Calculation of contexualised IGCSE grades

The request was successful.

Dear University of Oxford,
You have mentioned that you calculate contextualized GCSE grades using data comparing each applicant to the cohort. In the case of IGCSE examinations, please be kind enough to clarify:

1. Whether the data of the cohort is also available to the university
2. How the university calculates the contextualized IGCSE grades of each applicant

Yours faithfully,
