S3 Exam Timetable

Please find Barrhead High School’s S3 Exam Timetable.

The exams start on the 3rd of May and finish on the 13th of May.

All of the exams are for National 5 students unless stated. Other than Maths, Admin and ICT and English, all exams will last for one period and take place during the scheduled class time. The timetable follows the students own class timetable – students should only attend exams where they have that subject on their timetable. For a select number of their exams the pupils will sit their assessment in the exam hall (Ralston or the Games Hall) as indicated on the timetable. Pupils should go straight to the exam hall when scheduled for exams and will be registered in the exam hall itself.

 

The S3 exams are an opportunity for teachers and students to gauge how well their pupils are coping at this stage in the broad general education while offering the students an opportunity to experience sitting in an exam hall; an experience that will stand them in good stead as they prepare for the challenges that lie ahead in fourth and fifth year and beyond.

 

Please ensure that the students are prepared as well as possible for the exams and support them at home as they learn to cope with the pressure and challenge of formal examinations. I am sure that they will find the experience rewarding and informative.

 

Thank you:

 

S4,S5 & S6 Master Classes Timetable

To support all of our S4, S5 and S6 students who will be undertaking SQA examinations over the next month, we have organised a Master Class Timetable.

Master Classes give students the opportunity to meet with their teachers the day before the SQA examination. Students can use these classes for personal study, examination advice or as a final opportunity to revise parts of their course with the teacher.

Students are also welcome to attend school at any time during the study leave period to complete personal study.
