12.6.1 The following tables were provided to the Inquiry by the City of Edinburgh Council as provisional information and have been compiled from several different sources with no national or comparator information yet available. They should therefore be treated with a degree of caution.
12.6.2 The column for each school for 2016 has been colour-coded as follows:
• green if the percentage attaining awards is higher than 2015; and
• red if the percentage is the lowest over the four year-period since 2013.
12.6.3 The measures used are those that were available in August 2016. Using the eight measures for each school, only one school is coloured red, for one measure. Across all schools, there is the type of normal fluctuation that would be expected from year to year, with some measures going up and others down.
12.6.4 However, all the five schools show improvement in at least half of the measures, which would suggest that the exam results have not been negatively affected by closure/decant.
