Senior 3 and Senior 4

All pupils follow the Standard Grade programme, sitting the examination at the end of S4, with the exception of English (which is now sat at the end of S3 to permit more time to prepare for Higher) and Chemistry and Art (where Intermediate 2 and GCSE respectively, which are considered more appropriate courses in these subjects, are sat at the end of S4). In choosing to follow 8 subjects breadth of choice is maintained. It ensures that every pupil takes at least one social science. The options are set up in such a manner as to allow a pupil to take one, two or three sciences, and one or two languages. Only a few combinations are not possible.
