Summary Statistics for Schools in Scotland, No 5: 2014 Edition
This contains the results of the annual pupil census, annual teacher census, early learning and childcare data and school estates data.
Early Learning and Childcare
Table 4.1 shows that there were 101,463 children registered for ELC local authority funded places in September 2014, and that 98.5% of eligible 3 and 4 year olds were registered. Children registered to receive local authority funded ELC at more than one centre may be counted more than once and so will overestimate true uptake.

(1) Refers to academic year - 3 and 4 year olds were previously referred to as 'ante pre-school' and 'pre-school' respectively.
(2) Eligible children are estimated from population projections. For 3 year olds, eligibility is assumed as at the term after the child's 3rd birthday, however, some centres provide places earlier than this which may cause these figures to exceed 100%.
(3) Refers to children who are eligible to attend primary school but have deferred entry and remain in ELC.
(4) Includes data from 2013 where centres did not respond. 'Scotland as reported' row shows just data returned in 2014.
