How did we award scores?
Our scores are based on Scottish Government data showing the percentage of pupils in P1, P4 and P7 meeting expected levels in Scotland’s curriculum.
Pupils sit assessments at these three stages in four areas – listening and talking, reading, numeracy and writing.
The latest results for the 2023/24 academic year – known as Achievement of Curriculum for Excellence Levels data – were published this week.
For each of the four areas we awarded one point for 0 to 10% of pupils meeting expected levels, two points for 10% to 20%, and so on, up to 10 points for 90% or more.
The published data gives only a percentage range, eg. 80-90%, for individual schools rather than an exact percentage.
For some smaller schools data is withheld as it could allow an individual pupil’s performance to be identified.
