In Taylor High School students progressing into fifth year study fewer subjects within the senior phase curriculum in greater depth.<\/p>\n
As our S4 pupils move to S5 they will be asked to make choices about their subjects, ensuring progression allowing them to develop more specialisation.<\/p>\n
Learners will follow the S5 Senior Phase Curriculum Structure<\/em><\/strong> outlined below;<\/p>\n The teaching week for S5<\/strong> is structured mostly in blocks of three double periods:<\/p>\n Whilst every attempt will be made to accommodate each choice in each column, this may not always be possible. For example, if there are too few pupils choosing a subject in order for it to run. If this happens your pupil support teacher will conduct a second interview and help select an alternative subject.<\/p>\n Choosing the Right Subjects for You<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Students should ensure that they make choices for the correct reason – not because they like the teacher or their friend is picking it! Each pupil should research careers online before making their choices.<\/p>\n If the young person is unsure of a career path then the best advice is to choose a broad curriculum. We are always on hand to offer advice.<\/p>\n Consult with your teachers, especially your Pupil Support teacher, before finalising your choices. You should also consult the Careers Adviser and the careers information online.<\/p>\n It is also important to consider entrance requirements to the colleges\/universities and\/or modern apprenticeships you are interested in.<\/p>\n Take care when considering any \u201cnew\u201d subjects; in S5 you will usually only choose subjects you studied in S4 in order to ensure progression<\/em><\/strong>. You will have the opportunity in August to adjust your choices, after considering your SQA results.<\/p>\n Help and Support <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Should you require any help or support please do not hesitate to contact the school.<\/p>\n In Taylor High School students progressing into fifth year study fewer subjects within the senior phase curriculum in greater depth.
