SENIOR PHASE CURRICULUM

The Senior Phase is where pupils select and study National Qualifications at an appropriate level.  From S4 to S6, pupils are able to build a portfolio of qualifications at different levels, relevant to individual needs.

During the Senior Phase, your child will continue their ‘learning journey’ through a range of personalised curricular pathways.  Young people will experience a greater depth of learning as well as attain formal recognition of achievements.

The combining of curriculum structures across S4-6 in the Senior Phase has created a better opportunity for pupils to study courses at a level that is most appropriate for them.  The combined structure allows the school to offer a wider range of courses and qualifications to ensure that we are able to recognise and accredit pupil achievements.

At S4 pupils will typically study 7 subjects including English and Maths.  As they move into S5 and 6 they will specialise further and study up to 5 subjects.
