Dear Parent/Carer,
An assessment calendar was issued to all S4 pupils undertaking N5 courses this year.
This calendar contains ALL key assessments for S4 for ALL subjects. Pupils should highlight relevant assessments to ensure they are aware of when assessments are scheduled.
All assessments will be undertaken in class time. For some assessments, where more than a period is required in one sitting, an additional period will follow where they will continue to perform the assessment rather than go to their next class. No pupil will sit an assessment that is longer than a double period.
We are very aware that this is a stressful time for S4 pupils and we will continue to support and help all of them in any way we possibly can. We are running revision classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays where we will model revision techniques that we know work and are valued by our senior pupils. Please encourage your child to attend. These take place in the Library and are run by Mr Beaton DHT and Mrs Allan PT Social Subjects directly after school.
I will share the assessment calendar for term three – January – March before the Christmas break.
Please sit down and help your child prepare and plan their study plans. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries or need any advice or any particular resources and I will do my best to provide any support required.
Kind Regards:
Mr Beaton

(All assessments are ‘key’ and pupils will receive all ASN supports they are entitled to for all SQA assessments.)
