Cumbernauld Academy

Over the next two weeks the Pupil Support team will be conducting option interviews with our current S3 pupils as they prepare for choosing subjects in S4. As you will be aware this is a very important time of the year for all the pupils and parents/carers as it will not only determine courses for next session but it also confirms the possible routes for gaining future qualifications.

With this in mind and to help inform parents/carers and pupils we have provided an option information booklet detailing the process and each subject available for S4. These booklets detail course aims, structure and qualification levels on offer.

Please click on the link below to access the  S3 Into S4 Option Booklet and  the preliminary S4 Option Form.

There is lots to consider when completing your coursework and preparing for exams. The SQA have created “Your National Qualifications” booklet to help.

There are different types of coursework, including portfolios, practical activities, performances, assignments and projects. The type you do will depend on the course you are studying. The booklet contains information on modifications, sources and Artificial Intelligence. There is also guidance on the rules you need to know and understand when completing your coursework.

Your teacher can also explain all of this to you.
