Results
93% of the pupils who left Auchenharvie Academy in 2016/17 were in a positive destination (higher or further education, training, employment, voluntary work or an activity agreement), against 90% for its virtual comparator, a matched group of similar pupils from other schools and 94% across Scotland.
49% left with literacy and numeracy at SCQF level 5 or better (virtual comparator 54%).
Scotland’s own measures, not GCSE or A level results, and never set beside England’s. The virtual comparator is not a school.
