Scottish Survey of Achievement
Description - The Scottish Survey of Achievement (SSA) was a sample survey of pupils' attainment in Scottish primary and secondary schools carried out annually from 2005 until 2009. It monitored how well pupils in Scotland were learning and focussed on a different aspect of the school curriculum each year. The 2009 survey was the final time that the SSA was carried out as it was designed to reflect learning and teaching under the 5-14 curriculum.
A new survey, the Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy (SSLN), has been designed to support assessment approaches for Curriculum for Excellence and will be run for the first time in 2011. For more information on SSLN, please see:
