Results
100% of the pupils who left Ullapool High School in 2020/21 were in a positive destination (higher or further education, training, employment, voluntary work or an activity agreement), against 96% for its virtual comparator, a matched group of similar pupils from other schools and 95% across Scotland.
Scotland’s own measures, not GCSE or A level results, and never set beside England’s. The virtual comparator is not a school.
