Results
91% of the pupils who left Bridge Of Don Academy in 2024/25 were in a positive destination (higher or further education, training, employment, voluntary work or an activity agreement), against 95% for its virtual comparator, a matched group of similar pupils from other schools and 96% 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.
