Thursday 4th September sees Taylor High School hosting their SQA Information Evening for pupils in the senior phase and their parents/guardians.

This evening will provide information regarding the SQA courses offered by the school within different subjects and the requirements within them. Guidance will also be given regarding any coursework and study materials.

Here is the English information booklet that will be handed out on the night: S5-6 English Leaflet (1) (1) (1)

It includes links to useful resources and guidance on aspects of the English course such as the Folio.

We hope to see many of you on the night!

This week pupils will begin to really get into the new units here in the English Department.

S1 will be looking at a short story called “The New Boy” and practising their Active Reading skills, S2 will begin a poetry unit and S3 are looking at persuasive writing. While National 5 and Higher classes will begin preparation for their Folio and Spoken Presentations.

The hard work begins!

The Languages Faculty would like to give a warm welcome back to all of our pupils today!

We would also like to welcome and introduce 3 new members of staff to the faculty: Mr N. Kerr (English), Ms. G. Graham (Modern Languages) and Ms G. Murphy (Modern Languages).

We hope everyone has a great first day!

For those completing National 5 or Higher the final dates for handing in your finished Folio are as follows:

Nat 5- Monday 10th February

Higher- Monday 24th February

Remember if you feel you won’t be able to complete this in class time you can come to the Folio Clinic in the department on Fridays 1 – 2:30pm.
