SQA Examinations

The SQA Exams are well under way at Knox Academy and from speaking to our young people, seem to be going well. Pupils coming into school to attend an exam should be in dress code and a reminder that that the Your Exams guide is now online. Departments have organised revision sessions ahead of exams and pupils are encouraged to attend these where possible.
