Skills Development (SDS) supplies information about the destinations of school leavers from publicly funded Secondary Schools, at an individual level, to the Scottish Government’s Education Analytical Services Division. The return is based on a follow up of young people who left school between the 1st August 2013 and the 31st July 2014. The exercise was undertaken during September/October 2014 and produced a snapshot of destinations as at Monday 6th October 2014. These statuses are reported on the school of leaving.

The Scottish Government will be publishing the results of the initial return in June 2015, therefore SDS has agreed to provide a National overview in advance of that.
