As we get closer to the exams starting in April, I want to let you know about all the support we will be offering all pupils over and above what is running in classes:
SUPPORTED STUDY
Runs for most subjects right up to the exams. Just turn up and teachers will work with you to help your exam performance. SUPPORTED STUDY TIMETABLE IS ATTACHED.
This runs through the Easter Holidays for most subjects. Simply turn up and teachers will work with you to support you in the run up to your exams. EASTER SCHOOL TIMETABLE IS ATTACHED.
These will run a few days before each exam and these sessions will focus on getting the most out of your exams. EXAM MASTERCLASS TIMETABLE IS ATTACHED.
On the morning of every exam the Senior Canteen will be open from 8am and a free breakfast will be served if you want it. The senior canteen will be available for you to gather in all through the exams. EXAM BREAKFAST TIMETABLE IS ATTACHED.
Pupils who attend extra revision sessions do better in exams. You might not be able to go to every session, but please consider making these part of your revision schedule.
Please speak to your teachers if you need any support in any of your subjects.
Just as a reminder the exam timetable can be found on the link below:

Parents and carers of S5 pupils who are thinking of applying to university after S6 are encouraged to come along to an online information session, hosted by the UWS Foundation Academy Team on Tuesday 24th of February at 6pm – 7pm. This will provide a brief overview of opportunities at UWS and the programme, which is a widening access initiative designed to support pupils in preparing for university study. Pupils’ sign-up and enrol onto the programme during S5, then attend a campus visit day in June followed by a module in S6 PSE. It gives pupils an experience of university life, develops academic skills and supports pupils with the university application process. The programme also allows pupils to achieve a 20-credit qualification at SCQF level 7 and can increase their chances of receiving an offer of a university place.
You can also find more information on the Foundation Academy programme here.
If you have any questions, you can contact the team at foundation-academy@uws.ac.uk or Miss Helen Shaw, PT Pastoral Care at Auchenharvie Academy. Thanks
