Thorntree Primary in Shettleston, performed flawlessly in reading, writing, numeracy, listening and talking among P7 pupils despite most living in 'deprivation'.
A Glasgow primary school in one of Scotland’s most deprived areas has earned a top spot in the Sunday Times’ primary school league table.
“We feel that a nurturing approach makes for high-quality learning and teaching, that it creates a nice experience, and children just want to come to school.” Data from P7 is given the greatest prominence, as this is the final stage before secondary school and reflects the influence of teachers throughout all stages of primary school.
Across local authorities, East Renfrewshire and East Dunbartonshire were the best performing councils for primary school attainment. The councils have an exemplary record in education for children from P1 through to S6, invariably topping the table for the best performance in Curriculum for Excellence at primary and having the biggest proportion of pupils with five highers at secondary school.
Thorntree Primary School has overcome the traditional educational barriers of low income to produce top marks despite nearly 80% of pupils being deemed “very deprived” by the Scottish Government. The school has made great strides in the last six years, with attainment improving year on year.
