Third and Fourth Year
Curriculum / Third and Fourth Year
Third and Fourth year pupils will select courses from the following modes:
Language & Communication
Mathematics
Religious & Moral
Social & Environmental
Creative/Aesthetic
Physical Education
Scientific
Technological
An explanation for these will be given in the subject choice handbook.
A
meeting is held between January and March at which parents of Second
Year pupils can meet staff to discuss subject choices for Third and
Fourth Year courses. Pupils are provided with curricular, personal and
careers advice at this important time. Most of the subjects lead to
presentation at Intermediate level or Standard Grade in the Fourth Year
although some pupils may follow Access courses or individual National
Units. We also present a few, very able, pupils for Higher Grade in S3
and S4.
Our college provision, where we currently send pupils to
the Barony College and Dumfries and Galloway College, is being reviewed
at present. In order to ensure that the courses on offer suit the needs
of our pupils.
