Only one primary school in Aberdeen has made it onto a new list of the top 50 in the country.
Hazlehead Primary was the only primary in the region featured in a new league table published by the Sunday Times this week.
The list compiles the top 50 performing schools in Scotland, and is put together using data submitted by teachers.
The scoring marks pupils’ reading, writing, numeracy and combined listening-and-talking.
The best have seen their marks rise to the top of the league table thanks to the use of “innovative teaching methods,” according to the report.
However, there was only one representative from Aberdeenshire to make it onto the list, while none from Moray or the Highlands made it.
