Examinations

All pupils undertaking National 5, Higher, or Advanced Higher qualifications will participate in a Preliminary December Assessment. These assessments are primarily conducted during class time, although the assembly hall may also be utilized. The purpose of these assessments is to track pupils’ progress across their courses.

Some courses include practical assessments, which must be completed and submitted to the SQA by March or April. Pupils are advised to confirm exact submission dates with their teachers.
