INTRODUCTION

For next session 2026-27 pupils will make choices for subjects they will study in S3 and S4. This page provides detailed course information for each subject as well as information regarding progression into the Senior Phase (S5 onwards).  Pupils were asked to make mock or dummy options in Early to mid January 2026 - these should be as close to possible to the pupils final choices and will allow the school to test the feasability of providing current S2 fwith the most appropriate courses for study in S3 and S4.
