Senior 5 and Senior 6 
Pupils entering S5 usually select five subjects from a wide variety. It is possible to proceed to a
Higher in one year in all academic subjects, to take two years over a Higher in most academic
subjects, sometimes taking Intermediate 2 in S5.
S5 pupils attaining university entrance on the basis of their Highers usually take (in S6) three
Advanced Highers or 2 Advanced Highers + 1 Higher or 1 Advanced Highers + 2 Highers.
Those still to gain university entrance take Highers.
In a friendly and supportive environment conducive to academic study, there is the opportunity to
study in greater depth subjects which may be pursued at university or, for those who are
interested in broadening their academic background, completely new subjects. We offer pupils
opportunities in a variety of Co-Curricular pursuits that aid the transition from school pupil to
young adult and help them develop into well-rounded and valued members of the community,
equipped with the life skills to make a success of their study at university and on into their future
careers.
