Curriculum and Course Choice process for: S2 pupils progressing into S3 within the Junior Phase. Iain Macdonald

Personal Best Human aspect of our school Self-worth

The S3 Curriculum:

• This is the final year of the ‘broad general education’ within curriculum

for excellence before pupils progress into the Senior Phase. Pupils continue their learning within the eight curriculum areas: expressive arts, health & wellbeing, languages, mathematics, religious & moral studies, sciences, social studies & technologies.

• Although pupils continue with all eight curriculum areas they have

increased choice in S3:

• Within languages pupils are able to continue with their main

second language (3 ppw modern language) or choose an ‘English language and media’ course as an alternative.

• Pupils can also make 6 further choices within expressive arts,

science, social studies, technologies and languages.

Pupils should chose subjects they intend to progress to National Qualifications in S4.

Curriculum and Course Choice process for: S3 pupils progressing into S4 of the Senior Phase. Laura Martin

Personal Best Human aspect of our school Self-worth

The S4 Curriculum:

• This is the first year of the Senior Phase.
• Pupils will continue with their Health & Wellbeing core curriculum (PE,

PSE & RMPS), English and Mathematics along with 5 of the 7 courses studied in S3.

• Pupils are therefore required to drop two of their current S3 subjects.
• If pupils wish to choose one of the courses delivered by Fife College

(either on campus in QAHS, or off-site at the college campus in Rosyth/Halbeath) then they are able to do this. These courses are marked with an * in column F of the course choice form.

• Successful completion of courses in S4 in most cases will result in the

achievement of a National 3, National 4 or National 5 SQA Qualification (or equivalent e.g. SCQF level 3, 4 or 5).

Personal Best Human aspect of our school Self-worth

The S4 Curriculum – courses delivered by Fife College staff:

• Courses delivered by fully qualified Fife College staff run on Monday and

Wednesday afternoons from 2pm onwards (periods 6 & 7).

• Some courses are delivered in the school (e.g. N5 Administration and

N5 Business Management) and others requiring more specialist learning environments are delivered in the college campus (Halbeath or Rosyth).

• Pupils choosing a college course which is delivered off-campus are

required to travel to the college for 2pm. Pupils travel during period 5

• n Mon & Wed which is core H&Wb time (1 period of PSE and 1 period
• f core PE). The timetable has been developed to ensure pupils do not

miss any teaching time from their National Qualification subjects. Bus passes are provided free from the school.

Think about gathering a portfolio of qualifications and skills across the three years of the Senior Phase e.g. national qualifications and skills developed through work experience, volunteering and contribution to extracurricular activities.

Do your research and make informed choices!

• Research what national qualifications (and what grades) are required

for college and university courses that your child is interested in.

• In order to progress directly into apprenticeships and employment

particular qualifications are also likely to be required.

• Do your research before making choices.

Personal Best Human aspect of our school Self-worth

Do your research and make informed choices!

• Think about gathering a portfolio of qualifications and skills across the

three years of the Senior Phase e.g. national qualifications and skills developed through work experience, volunteering and contribution to extracurricular activities.

• Only the most competitive university courses require 5 Highers in one

sitting e.g. medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry… These courses will also expect evidence (approx. 200 hours) of relevant work experience and the development of specific skills e.g. fine motor coordination skills for dentistry developed through model making, sewing, knitting, sculpting, sport…

Do your research and make informed choices!

• Find out as much as you can from teachers, colleges, universities,

current students at college/university, Skills Development Scotland (SDS) etc.

The S5 Curriculum

• Pupils can choose a mixture of National Qualifications: N3, N4, N5 and

N6 (Higher).

• Higher qualifications are allocated 6 periods of 50 minutes each week.
• National Qualifications (N3-N5) are allocated 4 periods of 50 minutes

each week.

• Pupils in S5 receive 2 core periods of Health & Wellbeing each week.
• As with S4 pupils S5 pupils can also choose courses delivered by Fife

College.

Progressio ion Routes

If a pupil starts a course at the start of the new timetable in June and does not gain the necessary entry qualifications for that course in the SQA exams (received in August) then they must choose a different course at an appropriate level in August. This does place pupils at a disadvantage so it is important that choices made are realistic in order to best support the pupil.

Leaving School

• If a pupil was born before 01.10.03 they can leave school after the

examinations in May 2019.

• If a pupil was born after 30.09.03 they must remain in education (not

necessarily school) until December 2019 (Christmas leavers). This can take many forms and should support the post-school destination of the pupil e.g. full-time at college, part-time at school along with relevant work experience/volunteering …

S6 Curriculum

• Pupils can choose a mixture of National Qualifications: N3, N4, N5 and

N6 (Higher) and N7 (Advanced Higher).

• Pupils in S6 receive 2 core periods of Health & Wellbeing each week.
• S6 pupils can also choose courses delivered by Fife College.
• We have increased flexibility with S6 timetables to support pupils in

attaining the relevant number of hours of relevant work experience required for university application and to enable them to answer the ‘what else’ question (Saltire Award for volunteering).

Choosing the courses online

• Information about the course choice process and the courses on offer is

available from the school website and has been e-mailed to parents and carers (who have provided the school with an e-mail address).

• Choices will be made online via GLOW (every pupil has a GLOW account

and this is a secure forum).

• A PSE period has been allocated for pupils to work with their GPT to

make their choices in school.

• Parents and carers can view (and change) the choices via their child's

GLOW account.

• The deadline for making choices is Friday 25th January.

Personal Best Human aspect of our school Self-worth

Choosing the courses online

• With your child choose the most appropriate course choices.
• Look at the course choice form (at the back of the information booklet
• n the website) and try to make their choices fit the columns.
• Go online (via GLOW) to access the digital course choice form (there is a

different one for each year group) and complete their choices noting what subject they have chosen in each column.
