Note (1): This information is not complete. It contains information from the two thirds of local authority areas that provided individual-level figures that could be analysed in this way. The remaining local authorities supplied aggregate-level statistics, so it is not possible to separate the attainment of looked after children from the rest of the school population. In addition, information on the looked after status of children is incomplete. However, it is believed that the overall trends, which show a widening of the attainment gap between children who are and are not looked after, with each school stage, are accurate.
Note (2): The attainment targets are based on the following descriptions of levels of attainment
Level A should be attainable in the course of P1-P3 by almost all pupils.
Level B should be attainable by some pupils in P3 or even earlier, but certainly by most in P4.
Level C should be attainable in the course of P4-P6 by most pupils.
Level D should be attainable by some pupils in P5-P6 or even earlier, but certainly by most in P7.
Level E should be attainable by some pupils in P7/S1, but certainly by most in S2.
