Angus Council Performs
The Education of Children
In the following pages we provide information on a range of indicators around the education of children in Angus. For
each indicator we provide not only data but also a short explanation of our performance.
Numbers can only tell us so much about performance sp every year we also publish a range of other things, such as
news releases, web-pages and committee reports that might give you a better picture of the services we provide and
the level of service that is delivered.
More information on education in Angus can be found in the following:

Education Department Annual Performance Report 2012/2013
The average number of working days per employee lost through sickness absence for Teachers (SPI)
Unfortunately in 2012/13 sickness absence increased to 6.3 days per teacher from 6.08 the year before. This is an
increase on the last two years and meant we missed our target of 5.9 days. We still managed to be ahead of the
2012/13 Scottish median of 6.62 days per teacher.
Sickness absence can be caused by many factors from stress to particularly bad outbreaks of cold, flu and other
illnesses.
More rigorous and focussed absence management procedures are being implemented in all schools and a Personnel
Adviser with a specific remit for sickness absence management has been employed to support schools in this area..

% of working days lost through sickness absence for teachers (KPI)
There has been a slight increase in sickness absence over the past three years from 3.31% in 2010/11 to 3.52% in
2012/13 although this is still better than the target of 3.6%. A more ambitious target of 3.5% has been set for next
year in light of this. We don’t have benchmark figures for other Scottish councils for this indicator.

% of working days lost through sickness absence for support staff (KPI)
There has been a year on year improvement for the past two years, from 5.06% in 2009/10, to 4.76% in 2010/11 and
4.56% this year. This is an improvement of 0.2% on 2011/12 and 0.5% on 2010/11. However, this is still well above
the target of 3.5%. We don’t have benchmark data for other Scottish councils for this indicator.

The average number of working days per support staff lost through sickness absence (KPI)
Support staff sickness absence has improved over the past two years. The 8.42 days lost per staff member in
2012/13 was 1.2 days better than 2010/11. However, this is still well above the target of 7 days. We don’t have
benchmark data for Scottish councils for this indicator.

Support staff turnover rate (KPI)
Support staff turnover rose in 2012/13 to 5.6% from 5.1% the year before. We don’t set a target for this indicator and
we don’t have data from other councils to compare with.
There may be many reasons for staff leaving the council both positive and negative. Turnover can allow us to reduce
costs without redundancies but high turnover can also suggest issues with morale.

Teacher turnover rate (KPI)
In 2012/13 teacher turnover fell to 6% from 7.2% in 2011/12. We don’t set a target for this indicator and we don’t have
data from other councils to compare with.
Increases in turnover may be due to a large number of teachers retiring in a given year and low levels may show high
morale.
For session 2012/2013 we have given 24 probationer teachers permanent posts bringing fresh ideas into Angus
schools to complement the experience of existing teachers.

Proportion of pre-school settings and schools receiving positive inspection reports (% of Quality Standards
scoring Level 3 and above) (Annual/HMIe) (KPI)
In 2012/13 80% of schools received positive inspection reports compared with 100% in 2011/12. This means we
missed our 100% target. We don’t have benchmarks for other councils for inspection reports.
There were 5 schools inspected in the year with 1 of them not receiving a positive inspection. Focussed support has
been given to the school and will continue to be given.
New arrangements are in hand to establish an Attainment Team which will carry out more rigorous attainment reviews
of schools to ensure improvements in attainment and greater readiness for HMI inspections.

% (3 year averages) of S4 pupils attaining English/Maths at level 3 (SOA) (KPI)
The three year averages recorded in 2013 relate to the post-appeal exam results of June 2011-13. With an increasing
trend from 92% in 2007-09 to 95% in 2011-13 this figure hits our target of 95%. We haven’t provided a benchmark
median (the middle value in a list) for other councils; however, in 2012 the national average was 96%.
To improve this figure further all schools have been required to implement more rigorous approaches to monitoring
and tracking. This will be supported by training for school senior managers and Link Quality Improvement officers to
ensure ambition and expectations are raised.

% (3 year averages) of S4 pupils attaining 5+ at level 5 (SOA) (KPI)
The three year averages recorded for 2013 relate to the post-appeal exam diet results of June 2011-13. There has
been no increase in 2011-13 from 34% recorded in 2009-11, falling below the target of 36%. In 2012 the national
average was 37%, although we haven’t provided a comparable benchmark median (the middle value in a list).
The results across Angus schools vary significantly. We are fully aware of the link between social disadvantage and
achievement and are looking at ways to ensure we improve results for all of our young people.
More rigorous approaches to monitoring and tracking are being implemented in all schools.

was 37%.

The average tariff score of the lowest attaining 20% (SOA) (KPI)
The tariff score is based on the post-appeal exam results of June each year. The score for the lowest attaining 20% of
pupils continues to increase from 55 in 2010, to 65 in 2011, 68 in 2012 and 70 in 2013. Recent scores have been well
above our target of 55 so we have changed our 2015 target to 70. We haven’t provided benchmark data for this
indicator.
The lowest attaining pupils face a range of challenges from deprivation to additional support needs. Angus schools
provide dedicated support for such pupils.

The gap between the tariff scores of the lowest attaining 20% and the remaining 80% (SOA) (KPI)
The tariff score is based on the post-appeal exam results of June each year. The gap between the lowest and highest
attaining pupils reduced from 153 in 2010, to 145 in 2011, 138 in 2012, however, it rose very slightly to 139 in 2013.
We haven’t included benchmark data for this indicator but as we have twice exceeded our target of 147 in 2011 and
2012 we have set the 2015 to 135.
Unfortunately in recent years the tariff scores of the highest attaining pupils haven’t risen. The gap is closing due to
improvements for the lowest attaining pupils. We will do more in future to improve results for high attaining pupils too.

% of P1 pupils in class sizes equal to or less than 25 (KPI)
Class sizes are measured in the annual school census which takes place each September. All (100%) of schools have
achieved this target this year for the third year running. Clear guidance has been issued to all schools and this has
had a positive impact.
We have recently reviewed early years provision to make sure that all children enjoy the best possible start to their
school careers in P1.

% P1-P3 pupils in class sizes equal to or less than 18 (KPI)
Class sizes are measured in the annual school census which takes place each September. In 2013 20% of pupils in
P1-P3 were in classes of 18 or less, this meant we met the national target of 20% but missed our local target of 23%.
We don’t have benchmark data for this indicator.
The challenge we face in reducing class sizes is not only about providing more teachers but also finding spaces in
school buildings some of which weren’t designed for such small classes.
Further guidance has been given to all schools and support provided to increase this % in session 2013/14.

The overall % of school leavers moving to a positive destination (SOA) (KPI)
The percentage of leavers entering a positive destination in 2013 (94.7%) is a rise of 1.2 percentage points compared
to 2012. This is above the national average of 91.7%. The 2015 target has been increased to 94%.
School leaver destinations vary between the Angus schools. Destinations include higher education, further education,
employment and so on. Pupils can leave at S4, S5 or S6 and decisions to leave can reflect exam results and home
circumstances.
As well as working to improve exam results and the options open to pupils we’re also working hard to improve pupil
aspirations and ambitions.

Number of bullying incidents per 1000 pupils a) Primary (KPI)
The number of bullying incidents reported in primary schools has decreased to 18 per 1000 pupils in 2012/13, from 19
per 1000 in 2011/12 but this still remains well above the target of 8 per 1000 pupils. We don’t have benchmark data
for this indicator.
The number of reported incidents will continue to be monitored and schools will continue to implement strategies to
combat bullying, for example, Restorative Practices and the resilience training programme ‘Bounce back’. These
programmes have been well received and are making a difference to the way people are working together to resolve
issues. Schools have also been supported by the School and Family Support Service who provide timely and effective
interventions with pupils and families.

In 2013 for the second year running all (100%) of secondary schools provided 2 periods of physical education for
every child in S1-S4 every week. This meant we hit our target of 100 for the third year running. We have set a target
of 100% for 2014.
Not only do we help our kids keep fit by providing PE lessons we also teach them how to prepare healthy food and live
healthy lives. Indeed healthy-living is taught across the curriculum.

Proportion of P6/P7 children achieving 1 hour physical activity per day (SOA) (KPI)
In 2013 93% of P6/P7 children achieved an hour of physical activity a day which was an increase on 2011 when 92%
enjoyed an hour a day. We fell short of our 95% target in 2013 and we don’t have any benchmark data for other
councils.
Primary schools teach health and well-being across the curriculum not just in PE. This means that Maths and English
lessons are used to improve children’s understanding of healthy lifestyles. This encourages children to be active
outside of school.
Data will next be collected in 2015.

Proportion of S1/S2 children achieving 1 period physical activity per day (KPI)
The proportion of S1-S2 kids getting 1 period of physical activity a day increased from 80% in 2012 to 82% in 2013. It
had reached 84% in 2010 but fell back to 80% in 2011. The target for 2013 is to hit the 84% level last seen in 2010,
unfortunately we didn’t hit this target.
It is always difficult to cram in all the subjects that we want to teach our young people in the first two years of
secondary school. Schools will be reminded of our target and expected to meet it in the next academic year.

Cost per Primary School Pupil (LGBF)
The cost per primary pupil in Angus fell from £4,667 in 2011/12 to £4,567 in 2012/13. In 2012/13 the cost for the
average Scottish council was £4,700.
This measure is part of the Local Government Benchmarking Framework first published in March 2013. We’re working
with other Scottish councils to make sure we’re all measuring the same costs, to learn from each other and to improve

% of Adults Satisfied with local schools (LGBF)
In 2012/13 72% of people surveyed were satisfied or very satisfied with local schools compared with 87% in 2010/11.
In the average Scottish council 86% were satisfied with them.
This measure is part of the Local Government Benchmarking Framework first published in March 2013. We’re working
with other Scottish councils to learn from each other and to improve services.
Data for the measure comes from the Scottish Household Survey which is conducted across Scotland. Not all those
surveyed use local schools and the sample is small which means the data may be unreliable, We haven’t set targets
for this indicator.
