This Statistics Publication Notice presents national and education authority level information on the cumulative attainment of National Qualifications by all pupils in publicly funded secondary schools. It updates Statistics Publication Notice "SQA Examination Results in Scottish Schools: 2002/03" published on 4 November 2003.
The main findings are:
- Overall attainment in Scottish schools in 2004 was broadly similar to the levels attained in previous years. The figures are not directly comparable because the 2004 figures are before appeals whereas figures for previous years include successful appeals.
- In 2004, 91 per cent of pupils gained awards in both English and Maths at SCQF level 3 or better by the end of S4. Thirty four per cent attained 5 or more awards at SCQF level 5 or better by the end of S4.
- By the end of S5, 22 per cent of the previous year's S4 cohort attained 3 or more awards at SCQF level 6 or better. Nine per cent attained 5 or more awards at SCQF level 6 or better.
- By the end of S6, 19 per cent of the relevant S4 roll attained 5 or more awards at SCQF level 6 or better. Twelve per cent attained 1 or more award at SCQF level 7 or better.
- A higher proportion of females than males achieved passes at all SCQF levels, in all stages.
