Broad General Education S1-S3

In S1-2 pupils experience two periods of ICT per week. ICT is delivered as a ‘common course’ by Business and Computing staff with pupils experiencing Level 3 Technologies Experiences and Outcomes.

In S3 pupils experience discrete courses of Admin and IT, Business and Finance and Computing Science, including Level 3 and 4 Technologies and Social Studies Experiences and Outcomes. This gives pupils the opportunity to experience each subject and develop skills specific to each course which help to build them up to allow them to meet the pace and demands of the National courses.

S1 In A Nutshell

Senior Phase S4-S6

The senior phase of your education includes S4 to S6 and is the stage of education where you will build up a portfolio of qualifications in preparation for your life in college, university or in the workplace. There is increased personalisation and choice in both the subjects that you can choose and the level of qualification that you can study for.
