Senior Phase - Faculty Pathways from S3  

Over the following pages there are descriptions of suggested pathways through subjects from S3 to Higher or Advanced Higher level. These pathways are suggestions and is not an exhaustive example of how pupils can move through the different levels. We consider pupils pathways on an individual basis and will advise on suggested pathways on the S3, S4 and S5 tracking.

Some Faculty subject pathways include subjects that are delivered by other faculties. Where a possible subject option on a pathway is delivered by another provider this is indicated on the pathway with a green box.

In addition some of the courses offered that are integral to pathways within faculties are delivered by external  providers such as UHI, Highland Digital School and e-Sgoil. Where courses are provided by external providers this in indicated on the pathway with a red box. 

Notes – ‘units’ indicates the first year of a two year program, where the pupil focuses on attaining the subject unit assessments in the first year, then builds on this to sit the external exam in the second year.
