Assessment Calendar

Please find attached the Assessment Calendar, which will be used at Calderhead after the Easter holidays.
After consultation with pupils and staff it was decided that all Assessments will take in class at normal timetabled times. We hope that this will give all pupils the opportunity to attain the best results possible for each subject.
At first glance the Calendar looks to have a lot of Assessments on it, but each pupil should highlight only the Assessments that they are sitting and this will make it relevant to them.
If anyone has any questions about the Calendar please feel free to call me at the school.
Kind regards,
Gordon Graham
Depute Head Teacher

SQA National Courses – Delivering Results in 2020

The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) has announced details of the emergency arrangements it will put in place for students whose exams have been cancelled. Grades for qualifications including Highers and National 5s will be based on estimates by teachers.

The SQA has sent details of their plans to schools and teachers. Their focus is on three broad principles, while adapting to the current challenges we all face:

  • Fairness to all learners;
  • Safe and secure certification of the qualifications, while following the latest public health advice; and
  • Maintaining the integrity and credibility of the qualifications system, ensuring that standards are maintained over time, in the interests of learners.
