Moving into the Senior Phase – S4 to S6

As pupils move into S4, then inevitably SQA examinations will become more important, and pupils will move on to a study of National examinations.  Pupils will choose a curriculum in S4 which allows them to follow courses of study in a wide range of areas.  They will also be able to follow increasingly personalised courses of study, including extended work experience, courses in association with colleges and also links with the local community.

As pupils move further into the Senior Phase, in S5 and then in S6, they will continue to study for National awards and also Highers and Advanced Highers.  We also aim to have pupils follow a diverse programme of study, increasingly tailored to their specific needs.
