Post Certification Reviews

Your school is currently reviewing how final grades compared to those estimated and checking school based evidence that could support appeals. Pastoral staff are also aware of all outstanding College or University conditional offers and will consider Priority Post Certification Reviews where possible. School staff will contact you directly if they would like to appeal on your behalf.
Post Certification Reviews require your approval and can only be requested by the school. How we identify and process Post Certification Reviews is summarised in our ‘leaflet for parents and candidates’.

For all other Appeals – to school by 17 August

Good Luck !

Congratulations to all colours recipients and to next year’s Senior Prefect Team, we look forward to working with you.

We are sorry not everyone was able to be included on the list, as we know there are very good candidates who did not make it.

Interviews for Head Boy/Girl will be carried out when we return in August.

SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM 2020-2021

We are now in the final week of online work and I am sure you are looking forward to a relaxing summer. Please see attached the 4th edition of the Online Newsletter. We would really appreciate if pupils could continue working up till the latter stages of the week in order to fully prepare them for August. The materials and instructions will remain in Google Classroom, but please note that staff will not be available throughout the summer holidays.

The work and effort at home from so many has been extraordinary and, on behalf of the staff, can I pass on my gratitude to you all under such testing times.

NEWSLETTER – 22ND JUNE 2020

Please see below the 3^rd Edition on our online newsletter. As we draw ever closer to the summer holidays, the temptation for your son/daughter to stop completing work may start to appear. The work carried out in the next two weeks will be pivotal to a smoother transition in August.

On behalf of the Pastoral Care department, can I pass on my thanks to all parents who continue to support learning from home under challenge circumstances.

NEWSLETTER – 15TH JUNE 2020

S5/6 pupils hoping to go to university this year should now have decisions from their university choices. Pupils MUST accept their choice by 18th June 2020. If you don’t the offers will be declined. Better to accept something than have nothing.
