Senior Phase Prelim Exams
Monday 16/1/17 – Friday 27/1/17
The Balfron HS Senior Phase Preliminary Exams are scheduled for the fortnight of 16th – 27th January 2017. All candidates have been reissued with a personalised timetable, along with a copy of the information below. It would be very useful if you could familiarise yourself with the dates and times of the exams which your child will be sitting. All candidates must sit in the exam desk number allocated. Attendance registers will be taken on this basis.
- All pupils should use the SQA noticeboard outside the Theatre for the latest information about their exams.
There are a handful of pupils who will find that they have two exams on at the same time. We are aware of those who are affected, and their personalised timetable issued has been manually amended with their specific arrangement. Equally there are some pupils who have additional assessment arrangements – their personalised timetable overleaf reflects these arrangements.
- If there are any concerns about specific exam arrangements, please ask your child to see Mr Slavin in the Depute’s Office.
Study Leave for S5/S6 During the exam period, all pupils in S5/S6 are expected to be on study leave. However, pupils must regard their non-exam days as study days and do their best to prepare for their next exam. They must attend all their exams, arriving in plenty of time wearing full school uniform and behave in the positive manner that we would normally expect. Absence will be recorded as “Study Leave”.
- All S5/S6 pupils must sign in at Reception on exam days.
- Any exam absence must be fully explained as normal.
In-school Support for S4 Pupils in S4 should attend school as normal and will be able to study in classes. They will be released to attend exams as required.
- All S4 pupils must attend form class as usual (unless they have an exam).
- Any absence must be fully explained as normal.
Exam Conduct and Expectations: It is critical that all candidates are aware of their responsibility to come prepared and equipped for exams, and to ensure that their conduct is appropriate for SQA exams. Please ensure that your child has read and understood the information leaflet “Your Balfron HS Prelim Exams”. Please download the leaflet here.
