(1) The S5 stage staying-on rates are based on S3 pupils 2 years earlier and S6 rates on S3 pupils 3 years earlier. Where significant numbers of pupils are taken on in S5 this can result in staying-on rates of over 100%.
1999-2007 stage roll data used to calculate staying-on rates includes pupils in special units. National averages have been calculated from the figures for all available local authority and grant-aided schools Data for Jordanhill is included in the Scotland figure but not in Glasgow City.
