Please do not worry if the results you get aren’t what you were hoping for. There is a lot of support available. If your results mean you now need to change your options for S5 or S6, you will be able to do this when you return to school on Monday 21st August.

 

You can contact our Careers Advisers herewho will be able to help you with next steps.

 

Further and higher education

Information on further and higher education can be found from:

Receiving results can be an anxious time and it’s important to look after your mental health and wellbeing.

If you’re feeling stressed, worried or overwhelmed, talking to a trusted friend or family member about how you’re feeling can be a good first step and make a big difference.

You can find lots of information to help you relax and support your friends on the Young Scot and YoungMinds websites. Young Scot has also provided a blog post, which guides you through accessing support – from mental health resources to dealing with exam results.
