Additional inspection evidence

Selected attainment information

Inspectors use this information together with a wide range of other information gathered during the inspection to evaluate and report on young people’s overall achievement. It helps inspectors and schools to understand how successful young people are in SQA qualifications compared to young people nationally and to those in other schools which serve young people with similar needs and backgrounds

1

.

However, this is only one aspect of young people’s achievement, and it is only by blending these results with a wide range of other information, including achievement in the four capacities of curriculum for excellence

2

, the quality of learning in lessons and other activities, the impact of the curriculum, and the extent to which learning needs are being met, that a well-informed evaluation of achievement can be made. You can find this evaluation of young people’s overall achievement in the report on the school, published on this website.
