Chapter 5: Achievement of CfE levels by Additional Support Needs (ASN) status

  • Where the Additional Support Needs (ASN) status of a child is known, a lower percentage of children with ASN achieve the expected CfE level compared to children with no ASN.
  • The differences in the percentage of children who have ASN achieving the expected CfE level compared with children who do not have ASN is fairly similar across all curriculum areas.
  • The differences in the percentage of children who have ASN achieving the expected CfE level compared with children who do not have ASN increases throughout the primary stages, but reduces by Secondary 3.
