The waiting is almost over and hopefully you still have some nails left!

The SQA results will be dropping through letterboxes (or arriving by text / email for those who signed up for that service) tomorrow morning (Tues 7th Aug). There will be staff in school tomorrow morning in case of any issues arising.

We hope that the results received match the effort put in by our pupils in the months of preparation beforehand. Unfortunately that is not always the case. If you do not receive what you were hoping for, there will be a number of supports in place.

On Thurday 9th Aug, Mr Beaton (S5) and Miss Potter (S6) will be available from 10.30 am to renegotiate option choices for pupils who require to make some changes – whether because you did not achieve what you had hoped for or because you exceeded your expectations. We will also have our Careers Adviser in school at that time for those requiring further discussions.

SQA will operate a Candidate’s Advice Line from 7-10 Aug to help regarding certificates 0345 279 1000 , but it would be best to phone the school first.

Skills Development Scotland (Careers Service) will also operate a helpline from Tues 8th Aug – 0808 100 8000.

Remember the old ‘appeals’ system no longer operates but if a school has concerns about results which suggests the possibility of an error, there is action the school can and will take.

Best wishes to all our pupils for tomorrow.

Mr Sinclair
