In their S1 and S2 pupils gained experience in all the curricular areas of the Broad General Education.  S3 is the final year of this junior phase of the Curriculum for Excellence. Pupils should now start to think about the subjects which they would like to continue to study in more depth, and where they can improve on the skills and knowledge gained in S1 and S2.

All pupils will study:

·         English

·         Mathematics

·         Religious, Moral and Philosophical Studies

·         Physical Education

·         Personal and Social Education

In addition, pupils will be required to choose an additional 5 subjects.

Careful consideration should be given to ensure that sufficient breadth is maintained across their learning by following subjects across a range of curricular areas.  When considering subjects, pupils should also take into account their proposed career pathways.
