I am going to trial a new resource available through our Padlet. It’s a document of “recently asked questions”. I’m hopeful you’ll find value in these as they may help you answer questions you have. I’ll add to it as questions come in. padlet.com/lewispaterson/ins…

The February Update is live. A reminder that this update shows attainment at the point of exit for the 22/24 leavers cohort as well as their destinations. If you need support in interpreting the update please look to our resources at insight-guides.scotxed.net.

A wee reminder for those accessing the Feb Update…
Replying to @Insightupdates
One thing you may wish to do before diving into the data is click on your username (top right) of page, select Settings, and change from a 3-year to a 5-year view. Thanks
