ContentsPupils in Scotland 2014The data contained in this spreadsheet is supplementary to the new Summary Statistics for Schools in Scotland compendium released on the 10th December 2014.This document contains information on pupils in publicly funded schools in Scotland, mainly derived from the latest annual pupil census which took place in September 2014. It describes the education system by providing information on the number of schools and pupils, the types and sizes of schools and classes they learn in, and some characteristics of the pupils.Information in this spreadsheet may be updated and added to if necessary. We have therefore included in the contents section the date on which the table was first published and when, if at all, it has been updated.Should you require analysis that does not appear in this

Commentary and tables from pubReturn to ContentsClasses and Pupils 2014 - Commentary and tables from Summary Statistics for Schools in Scotland, No 5 : 2014 EditionTable 3.1 shows the distribution of P1-P3 pupils in publicly funded schools by ranges of class size. One of the manifesto commitments, made by the Scottish National Party (SNP) in 2007, was to reduce P1-P3 class sizes to 18 or less.In September 2014, 12.9 per cent of P1-P3 pupils were taught in classes of 18 or fewer (including those taught by two teachers at all times with a class size of 36 or less), down 0.7 percentage points from 2013. The number of pupils taught in classes of 26 or more decreased from 57,424 in 2006 to a low of 32,702 in September 2009, before increasing again. In September 2014, the number of P1-P3 pupils taught in classes of 26 or more was 46,009 which is 27 per cent of pupils.Table 3.1: Class sizes of P1-P3 pupils, 2006-2014(1)Class Size2006200720082009201020112012201320141 - 1819,92323,56323,83525,03934,35132,58031,10122,99222,13719 - 2013,30516,46116,22016,53514,29315,12115,65515,99516,65321 - 2566,22074,44680,15181,33270,68776,49980,24386,85487,31626 - 3056,51639,48233,42332,32739,08736,67937,80542,90845,53931 or more908345317375249757473736470% in classes of 18 or less or in 2 teacher classes of 36 or less12.715.315.516.121.620.218.813.612.9(1) The percentage of P1-P3 pupils in classes of 18 or fewer include two-teacher classes with 36 or less. Classes taught by two teachers at all times are treated as two classes of half the size.Table 3.2 shows the average class size for pupils in primary school. Class size data are not collected in the secondary sector as class size varies widely across subjects. The overall average class size in primary has remained at a similar level to last year, 23.3 in 2014 compared to 23.2 in 2013.The average class size for a P1-P3 pupil has also remained at a similar level to last year, 23.3 in 2014 compared with 23.2 in 2013. As part of the 2010 budget agreement local authorities were committed to maintaining pupil teacher ratios in P1-P3. It is not possible to calculate P1-P3 pupil teacher ratios from the census data. Therefore average class size together with overall pupil teacher ratios in primary (see table 1.1) are considered the nearest proxy measures.Table 3.2: Average class size of primary school pupils(1), 2006 to 2014200620072008200920102011201220132014P123.120.921.021.121.120.520.621.221.2P223.723.523.022.822.823.323.324.023.9P324.124.024.023.723.423.924.024.524.7P1-P323.622.822.622.522.422.522.623.223.3primary23.222.822.722.522.522.722.723.223.3(1) Data refer to the average class size of pupils in each stage, not the average class size of single stage classes. The total average class size is calculated on a different basis than the P1 to P3 class sizes, see background note 3.6Legislation was introduced in November 2010 to limit class sizes for P1 pupils to 25. Table 3.3 shows the number of P1 pupils by class size. Some P1 pupils may be in classes of over 25 due to the inclusion of one or more excepted pupil (see background note 3.3). In 2014 the number of pupils in classes of 26 or more was 451, lower than in previous years.Table 3.3: Number of P1 pupils by class size, 2006 to 2014200620072008200920102011(1)2012201320141 - 188,16411,06211,65311,79616,15616,20815,71311,96811,55819 - 205,4168,2538,0667,9675,9678,0258,4598,5548,82221 - 2520,82230,31130,68129,79424,56830,35132,00936,31036,72226 or more16,8459651,7063,6116,896609503560451(1) Pupil numbers were corrected on 01 February 2012 to adjust for a two teacher class in P1 which had been treated as a large class.Table 3.4 shows the percentage of P1-P3 pupils in classes of 18 or fewer. These vary considerably between local authorities. The existence of large numbers of small schools in some areas is one of the main reasons for this. The national level of pupils in classes of 18 or fewer, rose from 12.7 per cent in 2006 to 21.6 per cent in 2010, before decreasing to 12.9 per cent in 2014.Table 3.4: Percentage of P1-P3 pupils in classes of size 18 or less or in two teacher classes with a pupil teacher ratio of 18 or less, 2006-2014(1)200620072008200920102011201220132014Aberdeen City12.78.67.47.711.916.616.416.111.2Aberdeenshire16.115.613.313.012.611.113.114.913.3Angus6.513.812.817.926.825.520.421.023.1Argyll & Bute33.140.737.437.548.844.645.545.434.9Clackmannanshire12.423.720.420.028.222.019.016.117.8Dumfries & Galloway18.216.625.623.724.920.620.412.016.4Dundee City6.05.64.76.527.227.028.59.42.8East Ayrshire13.615.09.441.541.443.419.57.613.0East Dunbartonshire8.19.910.310.828.322.221.221.811.3East Lothian9.96.27.07.98.97.54.04.36.3East Renfrewshire10.29.95.46.532.538.135.67.615.7Edinburgh, City of7.112.814.114.516.515.315.37.07.2Eilean Siar70.772.566.657.974.762.851.739.848.0Falkirk7.911.711.07.712.67.78.54.96.3Fife10.219.212.916.126.026.727.424.122.9Glasgow City12.515.512.99.49.86.210.13.83.7Highland21.824.226.026.230.123.220.318.418.1Inverclyde9.216.88.210.220.616.812.39.310.0Midlothian8.18.612.924.79.215.35.07.711.7Moray7.412.616.97.226.119.720.68.914.1North Ayrshire10.59.35.86.525.17.711.67.27.6North Lanarkshire11.813.514.711.410.110.08.08.17.7Orkney Islands32.441.443.044.851.544.833.427.229.6Perth & Kinross19.919.916.717.023.326.620.715.715.1Renfrewshire7.37.88.58.333.134.636.56.910.8Scottish Borders12.917.727.030.730.123.122.621.612.7Shetland Islands55.651.053.043.443.331.624.526.531.2South Ayrshire16.914.017.224.325.728.423.420.217.8South Lanarkshire13.416.220.417.223.725.323.922.917.7Stirling12.815.412.317.523.026.724.917.415.2West Dunbartonshire11.918.123.220.831.622.615.99.913.3West Lothian9.210.524.825.519.826.024.420.317.0Scotland(2)12.715.315.516.121.620.218.813.612.9(1) In previous years this table did not include two teacher classes with a pupil teacher ratio of 18 or less.(2) The Scotland figure includes the one grant aided mainstream school.Table 3.5 shows pupil characteristics. These data are used primarily in equalities monitoring.In 2014, 88 per cent of pupils were recorded as being White-Scottish or White-other British. The largest other ethnic backgrounds include White-Other (4 per cent), Asian Pakistani (2 per cent) and Mixed (1 per cent).140,542 pupils (21 per cent of all pupils) had an additional support need recorded. This will include pupils in special schools and those in mainstream schools with a Co-ordinated Support Plan (CSP), Individualised Education Programme, Child Plan or some other type of support.Table 3.5: Pupil characteristics: ethnicity, additional support needs and English as an additional language by gender, 2014(1)FemaleMaleTotalEthnicityWhite Scottish277,952288,329566,281White Other British14,24414,84229,086White Gypsy/Traveller5195151034White - Other13,20913,91127,120Mixed3,7903,7457,535Asian Indian2,2112,4194,630Asian Pakistani6,0326,31112,343Asian Bangladeshi391402793Asian Chinese1,6441,4793,123Asian Other1,7131,7423,455Caribbean/Black435433868African2,6042,7215,325Other1,8781,9903,868Not known / not disclosed5,4665,80111,267Additional Support Needs (ASN)CSP1,0532,0753,128IEP11,77525,86537,640Child Plans5,87510,07115,946Assessed/Declared Disabled4,81610,34015,156Other41,82961,739103,568Total pupils with ASN54,09686,446140,542English as an Additional Language15,63416,87532,509Total Pupils332,162344,793676,955(1) Data for ethnicity and English as an Additional Language does not include grant aided special schools as this information is not collected.

Background NotesBACKGROUND NOTES1Sources1.1The information in this publication is derived mainly from the Pupil Census from 23rd September 2014 and previous years.2Coverage and Timing2.1The Pupil Census covers all publicly funded schools in Scotland (local authority and grant-aided). Where a school has more than one department, for example a secondary school with a primary department, these are counted as separate schools. The census of independent schools are no longer being published and have not been included in this bulletin.2.2Some special schools have pupils from a wide age range and the data collected from this sector reflects this. Where pupils attend a special unit attached to a mainstream school, they are usually included in the figures for the mainstream school. Some schools and local authorities have reported pupils from special units separately.2.3Pupils included in this census are those recorded by the school as being on the roll of the school except those in full time education at another institution (i.e. status 01 in the data specification only).3Census content3.1The content of the Pupil Census is considered in consultation with local authorities. The Scottish Government operates in the light of National Statistics guidelines, which restrict data collection to only the information that is required, at a level which is fit for purpose, whilst always trying to minimise the burden on data providers. Recommendations for changes to the census are made through the Scottish Exchange of Educational Data (ScotXed) network.4Collection methods4.1The information required to complete the September 2014 Pupil Census was collected electronically, through local authorities, from all publicly funded primary, secondary and special schools, as part of the ScotXed programme. The information is that stored on schools management information systems, thus reducing the burden on schools.4.2ScotXed supports and promotes effective and secure data exchanges so that key partners in school education in Scotland can benefit from access to information to monitor and improve education services. Partners include local authorities, schools, the Scottish Qualifications Agency, HM Inspectorate of Education, Learning and Teaching Scotland and the Scottish Government. Further information, including specifications of the data exchanges, can be found at:www.scotxed.net5Definitions and Data Quality5.1A class is a group of pupils normally supervised by one teacher. However, when a class is large and cannot be split, for instance an additional classroom is not available, team teaching may be used. Team teaching is when two teachers are present in the class at all times. When this occurs, the pupil teacher ratio will not exceed maximum class size regulations.Maximum class sizes in primary schools are as follows: 25 for pupils in P1 30 for single stage class P2 or P3 33 for single stage class P4-P7 25 for composite stage classExcepted pupils in class-size legislation are(a)children whose record of additional support needs specify that they should be educated at the school concerned, and who are placed in the school outside a normal placing round;(b)children initially refused a place at a school, but subsequently on appeal offered a place outside a normal placing round or because the education authority recognise that an error was made in implementing their placing arrangements for the school;(c)children who cannot gain a place at any other suitable school within a reasonable distance of their home because they move into the area outside a normal placing round;(d)children who are pupils at special schools, but who receive part of their education at a mainstream school; and(e)children with additional support needs who are normally educated in a special unit in a mainstream school, but who receive part of their lessons in a non-special class.5.2All class size calculations treat a two-teacher class as two classes with half the pupils in each. Total average class size is calculated by dividing the number of pupils by the number of classes. Average class size for pupils in a particular stage (or range of stages) uses the average class size experienced by pupils, which therefore takes into account the number of pupils experiencing each class size. For example, if three pupils are in a class of three and one pupil is in a class of one, the average of three, three, three and one is 2.5.5.3A composite class is a class of pupils from two or more stages.5.4The categories used to collect ethnicity and national identity data changed in the 2011 pupil census to agree with the categories used in the main population census. This means they are not directly comparable with information collected in previous years. Pupils and parents were given the option of not disclosing their ethninity and in such cases pupils were not attributed a category.5.5There would appear to be inconsistency between schools and between local authorities in the reporting of special schools as separate identities, as well as changes over the past years. We therefore advise caution when comparing results with previous years and across local authorities. See also the narrative of all changes to the list of schools,http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Statistics/Browse/School-Education/openingsnarrative07A few authorities do not have special schools and may fund places in neighbouring authorities for their pupils. The number of special schools includes 23 where there were no pupils based, but which received pupils based in other schools.5.6At September 2014 there was one grant-aided mainstream school, with primary and secondary departments, and seven grant-aided special schools. These schools are included in national totals, but are identified separately in the local authority level tables. In publications prior to 2003 they were included within the local authority of their location.5.7Education authorities must have arrangements in place to identify pupils with additional support needs and from among them those who may require a Co-ordinated Support Plan and the particular additional support needs of the pupils so identified. The statutory criteria and content for a Co ordinated Support Plan can be found in the supporting children's learning code of practice at:http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2011/04/04090720/05.8Individualised Educational Programmes (IEPs) are written plans setting targets that a child with additional support needs is expected to achieve. Targets should be limited in number and focus on key priorities of learning. They should be simple, clearly expressed and measurable.5.9In the 2010 pupil census, information on additional support needs was collected in a different way. For the first time, information on reasons for support and nature of support was collected separately for each type of additional support need (Co-ordinated Support Plan (CSP), Individualised Educational Programmes (IEP), disability, other). In previous years, while information on reasons and nature of support was collected, it was not linked to specific need types. This is also the first year that we are publishing information on other types of support. The 'Other' category includes: Child plans, short term or temporary support and support that is not covered in the CSP or IEP.5.10Child plans are single or multi agency plans based on an assessment guided by the Getting it Right for every Child National Practice Model.5.11Pupils may have an IEP with another record of support needs such as CSP or Other Need. Pupils with any combination of support needs are categorised in this publication as having Additional Support Needs.5.12The number of pupils identified with Additional Support Needs has increased markedly from 69,587 in 2010 to 98,227 in 2011 and then to 118,034 in 2012. There continues to be year on year increases, with 131,621 pupils identified with ASN in 2013 and 140,542 in 2014. These increases are not a real increase but due to continued improvements in recording and an additional category of 'Child plans' introduced in 2011.5.13There have been six extra categories (Communication Support Needs, Young Carer, Bereavement, Substance Misuse, Family Issues and Risk of Exclusion) introduced in 'Reasons for support for pupils with Additional Support Needs' for 2012.5.14Pupil census figures on children looked after by the local authority are as reported by schools. The definitive source for statistical information in relation to the number and characteristics of looked after children (LAC) is the Scottish Government 'Children Looked After Survey (CLAS). The information in the CLAS is provided by local authority social work services departments. We currently suspect that the reporting of a child's LAC status by schools in the Pupil Census is not 100% accurate.5.15The urban/rural classifications in Table 1.3 are defined as in the Scottish Household Survey,http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2003/08/17898/244325.16For the purposes of this report denominational schools have been restricted to those schools where a specific denomination is named. Multi- and inter-denominational schools have therefore been grouped with non-denominational schools.5.17It is not possible to calculate pupil teacher ratios (PTRs) for P1-P3 pupils separately as we are unable to identify the proportion of time teachers work with P1-P3 pupils. Class size information for P1-P3 classes is available, however, this only includes the class teacher and does not include the input received from other teachers (i.e. head teachers, specialist teachers (music, PE, ASN)) as it is not possible to allocate their time to a specific group.6Costs6.1Pupil census and teacher census data. This information is collected from the management information systems of schools. However, the estimated cost to local authorities of extracting and validating this information is around 150,000.6.2Early Learning and Childcare census. This information is collected directly from ELC centres and we have no information on how much it costs them to complete this. However, local authorities have taken on a role in validating the ELC data and it costs them an estimated 20,000 to do this.6.3School Estates. The estimated cost to local authorities of extracting and validating this information is 7,000.7Rounding and symbols7.1All percentages and FTEs are rounded separately and breakdowns may consequently not sum to Scotland figures.7.2The following symbols are used:.. = not available- = nil or rounds to nil# = not applicable8General8.1This is a National Statistics publication.
