A total of 1,197 primary schools provided data for the annual Achievement in Curriculum for Excellence Levels publications, with the remaining 729 on the government database not participating, either because no children were up to standard, the school roll was too small or the data was not collected centrally.

The schools were then placed in a league table according to how well they were performing.
In the area covered by East Ayrshire Council a total of 10 primaries received at least 370 points - with one earning full marks.
