Results
100% of the pupils who left Kilchuimen Academy in 2019/20 were in a positive destination (higher or further education, training, employment, voluntary work or an activity agreement), against 92% for its virtual comparator, a matched group of similar pupils from other schools and 93% 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.
