This is what SM, a former pupil who took Higher English, had to say about the course: Picking Higher English happened to be one of the best decisions I ever made whilst in school. Not only did Higher English prepare me for what was to come in university, but it was an enjoyable subject. I found that Higher English implemented and focused on experiential and social learning, which I particularly enjoyed. This way of learning left me with some amazing memories of the class. On top of the enjoyment aspect, I also acquired skills through Higher English that prepared me for further learning and my future.
