Data released under freedom of information law reveals that 30 performance reports were issued to 21 schools and colleges by the SQA between 2013-14 and 2017-18. Seventeen of the reports (56 per cent) were bought by private schools. These included Hutchesons’ Grammar School in Glasgow, High School of Glasgow and Glasgow Academy, as well as George Heriot’s and George Watson’s in Edinburgh, Albyn School in Aberdeen and High School of Dundee.
