Well that’s the mock exams over for the current S4!

We are quite pleased with the obvious amount of revision and effort our candidates put into their exams this session, and by and large it paid off.

Candidates have been informed (or are in the process of being informed) of their provisional marks. It has to be said that the marks this year are generally of a very high standard.

If you didn’t quite get the result you were hoping for please don’t panic! We will now fully analyse the results together with your marked paper and will use this information to produce individualized  study plans for you, you should start to receive these just after the Christmas break. We will also work very closely with individual pupils and small groups to target areas for development.

In the meantime please have a very enjoyable and well earned holiday, see you all in 2017!

Well done to Andy Smith and Alasdair Russell who have been awarded Arkwright Scholarships.

The Arkwright Scholarships Trust is a registered charity that administers the most prestigious scholarship scheme of its type in the UK.

They identify, inspire and nurture future leaders in Engineering and technical Design. They do this by awarding Arkwright Engineering Scholarships, through a rigorous selection process, to high-calibre students in S4.

Their Engineering Scholarships support students through their Highers and encourage students to pursue Engineering or technical Design at university or through a higher-level apprenticeship and to take up careers in the field.

We are now looking for candidates from the 2015/16 S4 year group.

Welcome to the Dunblane High School technical education blog, it is our intention that during session 2015-16 that we will build this blog up to include important information regarding cut off dates, assessment, assignment and homework due dates together with examples of pupil work.

It is likely that the blog will be quite quiet until after the summer break!!
