Prelim Timetable January 2023

Dear Parents & Carers.

Our diet of prelim exams begins on Monday 9th January 2023

Please find a copy of our prelim timetable below. A copy has been emailed to all S4-6 pupils this afternoon, along with answers to some frequently asked questions from pupils. Paper copies will not be issued en masse, unless any pupil is unable to access the timetable electronically. Please ask your child to speak to a member of school staff if this is the case.

You will find important prelim guidance about study leave, school uniform during exams and general school protocols around prelims on page 7 of the timetable. 

You will be aware that Teaching unions have announced further strike action during January 2022.

This means that the prelims scheduled for 11/01/2023 and 23/01/2023 cannot take place as the school is closed to pupils. These exams will now take place on Thursday 26/01/2023 and Friday 27/01/2023.

You will find the most up to date version of the prelim timetable below.

Prelim TT 2023 Jan updated

Kind Regards,

Miss Quigley

SQA Appeals 2022

Dear pupils, parents & carers,

If a learner requested one or more appeals (via the school or learner direct) after receipt of SQA results in August 2022, the school will learn of the outcomes of these next week from Monday 31st October. School staff will speak to learners directly to let you know the outcome of your appeal(s).  If you have left St. Joseph’s Academy since you registered your appeal, we will attempt to contact you by telephone or email to inform you of the outcome. We hope to inform all learners of the outcome of their appeal by the end of the week.
When you find out about your appeal result, it’s normal to have some questions. Please read the information leaflet below which tells you how appeal outcomes were decided and answers other commonly asked questions.
Its important that you understand the following points:
  • the appeal outcome is final and there is no further means to appeal
  • the SQA cannot provide individual feedback on appeals outcomes.

Naturally, school staff will be able to give you advice & guidance if this affects your options choices for next year or future pathways.

Kind Regards,
Miss Quigley
