School Census September 2002 - Additional Analysis
Additional analysis e.g. ethnicity, free school meals, pupil numbers by local authority.
1479-7569
18 th December 2003
Further analysis of the data collected in the September 2002 school census is published today by the Scottish Executive Education Department.
The main results were published in August 2003. These tables illustrate the range of additional detail now available, due to the new way in which data was collected on an individual pupil level through the ScotXed programme. Further analysis will be published in March linking these pupil characteristics with attainment levels.
The proportion of pupils registered with free school meal entitlement was relatively stable throughout primary school at around 18 per cent, then throughout S1 to S3 at 17 per cent, but then steadily decreased to six per cent in S6 ( Table 3).
The proportion of pupils registered with free school meal entitlement, by ethnic background of the pupils, ranged from 45 per cent ( Gypsies & Travellers) to six per cent ( Asian-Chinese) ( Table 6). Twenty-one per cent of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds were registered for free meals ( Table 6) while 29 per cent were in schools which have the highest levels of free school meal registration ( Table 7).
All minority ethnic groups, other than the Gypsies & Travellers grouping, were more highly represented in schools in large urban areas than the national average ( Table 11).
Four per cent of secondary pupils and 1.5 per cent of primary pupils were attending schools outwith their local authority area of residence ( Table 15).
