Qualifications Scotland Exams

The exams seem to being going well (according to pupils I have spoken to) and pupils’ attendance at these has been high.

Exam Results

Pupils will get their results by post on Tuesday 4 August.

They can also get their results by text, email or both if they sign up to My Qualifications Scotland.

Chromebooks

Reminder – all young people leaving school this year must return their Chromebook, fully operational, with the charger, to Miss Patterson. These will then be passed on to other pupils.

Achievement Ties

Since 2019 Knox Academy has recognised achievement in school based extra-curricular and non-school based wider achievements through the award of Achievement Ties.  The Achievement Ties committee meets twice yearly to discuss nominations and allocation of Achievement Ties. There are two categories of Achievement Tie that can be awarded 'half colours' and 'full colours'.  Please note that both staff and pupils can nominate individual pupils for the awards.  For information on eligibility for the awards please see the Achievement Ties document.  

Nominations are now open and can be completed here.  The deadline for nominations for this academic year will be Friday 9th May 2025.  Any applications received after this date will role on to the next meeting of the committee (...
