Scotland's top 55 primary schools ranked on improvement in brand new league table
27.01.2022 - 13:33 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Scotland most improved primary schools have been revealed in a new league table published today.
The Times' Primary School League Tables has shown the improvements that primary schools have made since 2019.
It was able to pin the most improved schools by collecting data from the Scottish Government website, which looks into the rates of reading, writing, numeracy and listening and talking over the past year - with a score out of 400 given.
Comparisons were then made between the figures recorded in 2021 with those reported in 2019.
The study also looked at the numbers of pupils that come from deprived areas.
Niddrie Mill Primary School in Edinburgh was named the most improved school in 2021 as it saw its score soar from 200 in 2019 to 370 two years later.
Around 87 per cent of the pupils and their families live in deprived neighbourhoods.
Here are the top 55 most improved schools in Scotland over the past two years (school, council area and 2019 - 2021 change score).

Franz Ferdinand have shared a second brand new track, ‘Curious’, from their forthcoming greatest hits album, ‘Hits To The Head’.After teasing their return back in early November, the Scottish indie veterans released ‘Billy Goodbye’, their first new track in three years – a raucous glam stomper that the band worked on with Stuart Price (Dua Lipa, Madonna, Pet Shop Boys).The only other new track on ‘Hits To The Head’ is ‘Curious’, which frontman Alex Kapranos called “quite a different-sounding song” when speaking to NME in a recent interview.“Sonically, it’s more at the silky dance floor end of what the band is about,” he explained. “That one’s about imagining yourself in a situation at the beginning of a romantic relationship, being part of the magical moments and suddenly being overwhelmed by the sense of what’s to come and wondering how you will be when repetition, routine and the everyday is what your relationship becomes.“Are you still going to love me when the magic has faded?”The track comes alongside a video that sees the band put on their dancing shoes.
