About schools in Portsoy
Every school listed in Portsoy is a primary school; there are two in all.
Education Scotland inspects the schools listed here. Its inspectors evaluate a school against the How good is our school quality indicators rather than a single grade, and each page carries the inspection date with a link to the published report. Scotland does not release school-level attainment under an open licence, so these pages show the pupil-census figures its government does publish, among them the school roll and the spread of pupils across the most and least deprived areas. Treat a report as a starting point and visit before you decide.

- How many schools does Portsoy have?
- OfferDay lists two schools in Portsoy, all of them primary schools.
- Who inspects schools in Portsoy?

- How are schools in Portsoy ranked?
- OfferDay does not rank schools in Portsoy. Scotland does not publish school-level attainment under an open licence, so there is no fair basis for a league table. Compare schools on their Education Scotland reports and the pupil-census figures its government publishes, and treat any single measure as a starting point rather than a verdict.
