Interim S3/S4 Course Reports 2012Dunoon Grammar

Interim Pre Appeal VersionPurpose of reports

These reports provide staff development materials to support self-evaluation and improvement processes in schools.

They should be used in conjunction with our supporting documents:-

1. ‘SQA Analysis and Links to Learning and Teaching’ and

1. ‘Interpretation Guidance 2012’.

There are also materials on the ScotXed website to help users interpret the statistics.

Reports Important Note

These are interim reports, and will be replaced once we have all the corrected data from Scotxed.

Please note the following:-

1. There are no 2012 data for ungraded courses such as Access 3 And Skill for Work, or for SG Elements.

1. The NCDs and RV for Standard Grade Mathematics, Geography, History and Modern Studies, will be minimally affected by the small number of Gaelic language candidates who may have been included by ScotXed in this first release of STACS.  The final STACS values may therefore differ slightly.

1. S4 Subject Aggregate data are calculated from the consortium data we possess (25 LAs out of 32) and so NCDs may differ from those that will eventually appear in STACs.

What’s New

The only change in 2012 is that the S4 Subject Aggregate report will always appear. In the past the report was only included when there was more than one component course appeared in the report. This brings the S34 report into line with the WS report where all subjects were included in the S4 Subject Summary.

More detailed information is provided in the document Interpretation Guidance 2012.

The copyright owners grant the right to the Schools and Education Authorities, which are the subject of the report, to copy and to use this document for internal purposes only.

The Freedom of Information Scotland Act 2002 does not convey a right to re-use this information in a way that would infringe this copyright, for example by issuing copies to the public or for inclusion in commercial publications.

It does not however exempt authorities from disclosing this information if a FOI request is made, unless data in the reports relate to small numbers of pupils and so may allow the identification of individuals. Recipients of the information, however, will not be able to reproduce that information without seeking permission from the copyright holders.

Since much of the data are derived from STACS, the use of these reports is also subject to the ScotXed protocol. It is the responsibility of the users of these reports to ensure that they are familiar with the protocol and abide by its provisions.

Data Sources

The major source of data for the reports is the STACs online system published by SGED. We also rely on a further set of data that are only provided by ScotXed as additional data files. A limited number of statistics are derived from candidate level data that have been provided by SQA to schools and authorities for the generation of the August reports and are combined with the candidate’s stage and gender data provided by schools via the LA. For example, the scatterplots that are included in course reports are created from such data and are not identical in appearance to those published on the STACs system. Another example are the S4 Subject Aggregate RV statistics for which there are no equivalents in STACs.
