SQA Examinations & Study Leave
All S4, S5 & S6 pupils have now been issued with their individual SQA Timetable detailing exactly when their exams are taking place. All pupils should check that the details outlined in this are correct and contact the school as soon as possible if they have any questions, or corrections need to be made. Pupils, parents and carers are advised to visit the SQA website for useful information:
Courses at Higher level, and most at National 5, have an external exam. This is a compulsory part of the course. All courses at National 4 level are based on internal assessments.
As the SQA exams are run nationally the date of exams cannot be changed. Some exams will run over bank holidays and in-service days, however the school will be open on these dates to allow pupils to sit their exams.
- National 5 & Higher History: Tuesday 2nd of May 2023 (in-service day).
- National 5 & Higher Art & Design: Friday 26th of May 2023 (May weekend Holiday)
- Higher Psychology: Monday 29th of May 2023 (May weekend Holiday)

Pupils sitting Highers, or one or more National 5 exam, will be on study leave from Monday the 24th of April until Thursday the 1st of June inclusive. Pupils must make the most of this opportunity and spend their time preparing for exams. Please note staff are available in school and are always happy to assist pupils. Should your son/daughter wish to attend school to revise – this can be arranged. School policy is that pupils coming into school must wear school uniform, this is also the case when sitting exams.
On Friday the 2nd of June there will be an induction day for all pupils returning to S5/6. It is imperative that ALL pupils attend this session so that they can be issued with their new timetables.
Should you have any difficulties relating to the SQA Examination Arrangements, or if your child is unwell during this period, please contact: Ms Kerr (Deputy Head Teacher).
