S3 Assessments
From Monday 25th November, S3 learners will sit a series of formal assessments in most of their school subjects. Some subjects will already have completed these assessments as a result of coming to the end of a unit of work, and these assessments will be completed during normal class time.
The results of these assessments will form the basis of the S3 Report which will be issued towards the end of term and also be a guide for S3 subject choice. A copy of the S3 Prelim timetable can be found on the undernoted link.
Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
