SQA Higher/ Advanced Higher Update
Although exams have been cancelled, S5/6 preliminary assessments will go ahead as planned in January for Higher and Advanced Higher pupils. This will give pupils the opportunity to gather high quality evidence, which will contribute to their final SQA awards. As the SQA and SLC release more information regarding Higher and Advanced Higher certification it will be communicated to parents/carers.
S5/6 PRELIM TIMETABLE
With the removal of exams at N5 level, the January prelims this year will only be for Higher and Advanced Higher pupils. It will take place over 7 days as opposed to the traditional two-week diet. This is made possible by the removal of N5's and will allow us to maximise teaching and learning time. The plans for study leave are outlined on the instructions attached to the timetable.
