The Times have released their annual list ranking all the Primary Schools in Scotland according to the latest data.
Schools submit data on the percentage of pupils up to standard in reading, writing, numeracy and combined listening-and-talking. The Sunday Times aggregates this data into a maximum score of 400.
Schools with a higher proportion of deprived pupils are weighted to rise up The Sunday Times Primary School League table to recognise their achievement in delivering a good education despite the challenges of poverty. The data, based on teacher judgment, is drawn from the same government statistics that policymakers use to make decisions about schools and nurseries in Scotland. Almost 1,200 primary schools submitted data.
There are over 2,000 primary schools in Scotland but more than a third do not submit Acel data each year.
A record 89 schools scored top marks this year, up from 85 last year and just 52 when the government first began compiling data in 2016/17. 5 schools from Glasgow scored a perfect mark of 400.
Only one Primary school from Glasgow ranked in the top 10 Primary Schools in 2025 - Scotstoun Primary School
Schools are marked against 4 categories: reading, writing, numeracy and combined listening-and-talking. Each category is scored out of 100 for a total of 400.
