🧠 Supported Study
🧠 Supported Study
We offer supported study sessions for pupils preparing for National 5 and Higher exams.
Supported study will start week of the 17th November and run for three weeks (17th Nov, 24th Nov and 1st Dec) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
You should come to supported study with a purpose - what is the topic/skill/question type that you want to improve. Staff will be asking that question when you arrive. Or are you looking for a quiet place to work.
