Schools in Scottish Borders

Inspection and leaver results in Scottish Borders

Scottish Borders is in Scotland, where schools are inspected by Education Scotland. It inspects a sample of schools rather than every school on a cycle, and publishes its gradings only in one-off releases, so no inspection outcome is shown: each school’s page links to Education Scotland’s search of its reports.

8 of its secondary schools have leaver results (the latest year each has, up to 2024/25). They are Scotland’s own measures: the share of leavers in a positive destination is shown beside the school’s virtual comparator, a matched group of pupils with similar characteristics from other schools (not a school). They are never set beside England’s or Wales’ results.
