A planned diet of prelims for National 5/Higher/Advanced Higher will take place from Friday 24 November 2023 until Monday 11 December 2023 (inclusive).
The prelim timetable will be shared with pupils at the end of October.
Further advice and expectations can be found in the letter from our Head Teacher dated Thursday 26 October 2023.
If you're a girl studying National 5 Maths and feel you need a space to ask a 'stupid' question as you prepare for your Prelim then come along to M1.3 at 1.05pm every Thursday. Bring your lunch!
We've decided to do this because sometimes girls don't feel confident enough to take Maths further than National 5 and we want to change that!
Romilly and Ms Campbell will running this so if you have any questions feel free to ask!

You may be aware of an additional feature of Google Classroom which is designed to help Parents/Carers gain an overview of the set tasks and assignments. This feature is called Guardian Summaries and it enables Parents/Carers to receive e-mail updates about:
As a parent/carer you will be able to control the frequency of these updates or decide to opt-out of receiving them at a later date.
Setting up Guardian Summaries
To setup Guardian Summaries your child will need to follow these steps. This must be done by each child in your household for whom you wish to receive e-mail updates.
With your child use the link: knox.is/guardiansummary which requires your child to log in via Edubuzz.
We will use the main contact email we have on record but there is an option in the form to add a second email address. It is therefore essential that the pupil record is accurate so please contact us if you wish to make any changes to your stored information.
Please also note that, due to GDPR regulations, your child may choose to opt out of sharing information with you and if they decline permission we will not be able to set up the summaries for you.
Activating Guardian Summaries is a manual process which needs to be carried out by the school once the form is completed.
