Welcome to English, Media, Psychology & Classics
What We Offer
English and Literacy is at the heart of everything we do, and this is offered from S1 all the way to advanced Higher Level. We have specialised RED Book classes in S2 to encourage more discussion and debate form our young readers and a range of writing WAOs to ignite their creative spark.
Media is equally prominent in our department and is the Academy we offer for our upcoming primary pupils. Pupils in the academy learn Media from S1 and usually compete early presentations of their National 5 and Higher exams. Outside of our Academy programme, Media is offered as a subject to all pupils from S2 and we allow S4 - S6 pupils to join National Qualifications classes without prior involvement in the subject. We also offer a more practical NPA course in S6 for pupils intending to work within the industry.
Psychology is offered within our faculty and we are one of very few in the country whop provide this option. This subject is limited to S6s only and a Higher in English is required for entry. However, for those who want to try this out a little earlier, Wider Achievement Opportunities are offered in both S2 and S3.
Classics is a fairly new introduction to our faculty. In this subject we allow S5 and S6 pupils to sit Higher Level Classics, regardless of their previous qualification level in English.
