Summary Statistics for Schools in Scotland, No 5: 2014 Edition

Main Statistics

This diagram shows the main figures for 2014 from the Pupil Census, Teacher Census, Early Learning and Childcare census, and the School Estates collection. The 2013 respective figures are shown in brackets.

Note:

The main statistics in the 2014 bubble (with the exception of the teacher numbers) do not include Early Learning and Childcare data.
PTR is pupil teacher ratio. More information in section 2.
GTCS is General Teaching Council for Scotland.
ELC is Early Learning and Childcare. More information in section 4.

Teacher numbers were corrected in February 2015 due to amendments to Highland teacher numbers. However the amendments were minor and do not effect PTRs. See background note 3.4a.

The charts below show changes over time for some of the main statistics included in this publication.
