GCSE statistics

Does anyone know whether exam boards release statistics relating to grades awarded?

Basically I am looking for statistics relating to a particular course run by Edexcel. I want to know what the range of marks were (not grades) and the number of candidates that took this particular course this year. Pass rate etc etc.

Do exam boards release this information?
Is this info already in the public domain? (can't see it on their website)

Will they release the info to candidates or only to exam centres?

Thanks.

All the info you're looking for is published in the "Examiner's Report" available for every specification on the Edexcel website.

That's usually the very last page of the examiner's reports...you certainly wouldn't find it anywhere else. What specification are you looking for exactly? I could find it for you...
