Note: In years 2000 - 2004 children with unreported gender or age were allocated to a group rather than being presented as 'unknown'.
In 2000 to 2004 some totals do not exactly equal the sum of their component parts due to the effects of rounding.
In 2005 there were 27 children with unknown gender or age. Consequently the 'all people' total does not equal the sum of the total boys and girls.
East Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders and Midlothian did not provide 2006 information in time for inclusion. 2004-05 figures for these authorities have been incorporated into this table.
