As for questions 2 - 4, while our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Government does not have the information you have requested, in line with section 17(1) of FOISA.

You may however wish to contact individual local authorities (https://www.cosla.gov.uk/councils) or the General Teaching Council for Scotland (https://www.gtcs.org.uk/home/contact.aspx) to ascertain whether they hold this information.
