S4 Formal Assessment Schedule 2024
S5 and S6 Formal Assessment Schedule 2024
In addition to this, as part of learning, teaching and assessment, we are following a schedule for ongoing assessments throughout the year. The following schedule ensures pupils have sufficient time between assessments to prepare as it is allocated on a one column per day basis for S5/6 with S4 having a maximum of two assessments on any day. This situation may occur during the SQA diet too. All assessments are preceded by sufficient notifications on class Teams.
