Senior Phase Learning Pathways
S4
Young people in S4 to S6 choose up to six subjects to take on to National Qualifications. Most study at National 5 level, however, some will do National 3 or National 4 and a few will sit Highers. The level they sit is dependent on their working grade from S3. Pupils should have achieved a grade A to C in their S3 learning to be able to progress to the National 5 course.
S5/6
In S5 and S6, young people select up to 6 courses. They should build on their achievements in S4 progressing to courses at higher levels and/or broadening the number of qualifications they have achieved. Most pupils staying on to S5/6 should leave with at least:
-
Literacy and Numeracy at Level 5
-
5 National 5s
-
3 to 5 Highers
