Background Data This covers base data on school and pupil numbers, a breakdown of pupil characteristics (including LAC, ASN, EAL and SIMD) and Attendance figures and exclusions. 2. CEM 2014 data – Results for All Schools This shows the results for the most recent set of CEM tests and identifies base data on ages of pupils, age equivalents and the number of pupils above or below average for the four different areas of Reading, Spelling, Mental Arithmetic and General Maths across P3, P5 and P7. This helps to identify the gap between pupils chronological ages and their age equivalents for the four areas across the stages. 3. CEM 2014 data – Results for Schools by Deprivation This is similar to ‘Results for All Schools’ above and looks at the same information but analyses it by deprivation decile of the school. Schools have been placed in one of three deprivation groups; most deprived 30%, middle 40% and least deprived 30%. This helps to start identify the impact of deprivation on results. 4. CEM 2014 data – Results for Pupils by Deprivation This explores further the analysis of deprivation in relation to CEM data by looking at results by pupil postcode deprivation deciles. This helps to identify more clearly the impact of deprivation on results. 5. CEM 2014 data – Results by Area of Learning and Pupil Deprivation Following on from the above, further analysis is carried out on the gap between pupils age at test and age equivalents for the four areas of learning across the pupils deprivation deciles. This helps to identify the ‘attainment gap’ across the deprivation deciles. 6. CEM data – Progression of Cohorts across Stages This looks at the CEM data from two years ago and compares it with the most recent set of results for the same cohorts. This helps us see how these cohorts have progressed over time and to check if any changes in results are consistent with the current analysis outlined above. 7. Summary of Main Findings A summary of the main findings from the above data and analyses. Improving Life Through Learning 52 AppendixAppendix 61 1. Background Data for 2014 School Rolls: At September 2014, on School Census day there were 3,935 pupils in Clackmannanshire’s 18 Primary Schools. There were 2,006 boys and 1,929 girls.

(EAL): Improving Life Through Learning 55 AppendixAppendix 61 Attendance: Attendance in Clackmannanshire primary schools has been fairly consistent over the last five years and with the exception of the dip in 2012/13 has been above the national average. However, there are some schools within the overall authority figure whose attendance is low, as shown in the table below. Schools have been highlighted if their attendance is 0.5% or more below the LA figure.

At the beginning of the 19th century widespread criticism of alcohol gained ground in Britain and elsewhere. Those who advocated abstinence from drink, as well as some who campaigned for prohibition (banning the production, sale and consumption of alcohol) started to band together from the late 1820s onwards. This formal organisation of those opposed to alcohol was new. It was in response to a significant increase in consumption, which in Scotland almost trebled between 1822 and 1829. There were several reasons for this increase. Duty on spirits was lowered in 1822 from 7/- to 2/10d per gallon1 and a new flat tax and license fee system for distillers was introduced in 1823 in an effort to deal with illegal distilling. 2 Considerable numbers of private distillers went legal soon after. Production capacity for spirits was further increased by the introduction of a new, continuous distillation process.
