Our UCAS information evening was held in September 2021. This was for the parents/carers of S5 and S6 pupils who intend to apply to university this year. An overview of the application process was given, along with specific information regarding course research and personal statements. Mrs Kerr highlighted the importance of meeting specific deadlines and these can be found, along with other useful websites, in the presentation from the evening.

The UCAS student guide can also be accessed here.

The S2 into S3 Option Choice process takes place in March each year. Pupils will be provided with information detailing the options available to pupils for study in S3. Pupils who are unsure of which subjects to take can discuss their choices with their subject teachers, Guidance teachers or year head. An information evening for pupils and parents/carers will take place prior to the completion of Option Choice Forms. Option Forms will be issued to pupils through a link on Satchel. Further information is available on the S2 Curricular Pathways Presentation 2024 – 2025.

Further information on the S2 into S3 subject option process can be found in the S2 into S3 Subject Option Booklet and in the S2 into S3 Option Choice form.

The Nationals in a Nutshell website also provides a range of useful information to assist pupils and their parents/carers to make informed decisions about Option Choices.

In S3 pupils must make choices about which of their nine S3 subjects they will continue with in S4.  In S4 pupils generally undertake 7 subjects at National 4 and/or National 5.  A link to the option form will be available through Satchel.

Pupils must select one subject from columns A - E and two further subjects from the final list.  Pupils can discuss their choices with their Guidance teacher or Year Head.

Further information on the S3 into S4 subject option process can be found in the S3 into S4 Subject Option Booklet.
