Study leave will begin on Monday 25th April 2022 for pupils who are sitting at least 1 National Qualification exam (N5-Higher) in S4, S5 and S6. This also applies to pupils undertaking  1 National 5 exam.

Pupils will return to school on Monday 6 June 2022.

Any pupil who is not undertaking at least one exam at N5 to Higher level should continue to attend school to complete their N3/N4 coursework.

During the study leave period, study facilities will be available in school. Pupils who wish to take advantage  of these facilities should arrange with their subject teachers in advance and report to Reception on arrival.

As our Senior phase pupils undertaking exams at N5, Higher and Advanced Higher prepare to go on study leave from this Friday we thought it important to share  with you the “Your Exams 2022” booklet from the SQA.

This schools edition reviews all the important points that pupils and parents should be aware of with regards the forthcoming exam diet that beings on Tuesday 26th April.

The Mark Scott Leadership for Life Award – through Outward Bound

S5 pupils were given a presentation earlier this week about this award. Pupils are invited to apply for this award which will involve then attending Outward Bound, for a five day residential, with other pupils from their area. During this time they will form groups to start to plan a community based project which they will plan for, fundraise for and implement throughout the following year. This project should last three days and benefit the local community. To find more about the award then follow the link below:
