The content previously included in the “Summary Statistics for Schools in Scotland” statistical release will now be released as three separate publications:

• Pupil and teacher characteristics - covering information from the current academic year’s pupil census and the school staff census
• Funded early learning and childcare statistics - covering information from the current academic year’s Early Learning and Childcare census
• School attendance, absence and exclusions statistics - covering information from the previous academic year’s attendance absence and exclusions data collections

This change will make it easier for users to find and access the statistics they are interested in. All three new publications are scheduled for release on 9 December 2025, in line with the usual publication date for Summary Statistics for Schools in Scotland which has now been discontinued.
