For all our National Qualification courses, there is a comprehensive programme of support available to give pupils the best possible chance of success. This includes regular assessment with feedback to pupils and regular homework. In addition, lunchtime supported study, Easter Study Days and Pre-exam Study Days are offered by our staff. It is expected that all pupils commit to these as part of their N5 and/ or Higher courses.
