SQA study leave arrangements 2024
Dear Parent/Carer,
I am writing to update you on the SQA study leave arrangements for the upcoming examination diet.
The main SQA examination diet will run from Monday 22nd April to Wednesday 29th May inclusive. Please note that study leave will not commence until Monday 29th April. All young people are expect to attend school until this date unless they have an exam. Arrangements are as follows:
- If a young person has an exam during the first week of the exam diet, they will be granted study leave the day before their exam.
- S4 Pupils with 3 or more National 5 Examinations and all S5/S6 pupils are entitled to full study leave running from Monday 29thApril to Wednesday 29th May Inclusive. Young people do not need to attend school unless they have an examination or wish to attend a study session confirmed by their teacher through Google Classroom. Other times should be spent productively completing study at home.
- S4 Pupils with 1 or 2 examinations will be entitled to the day before their examination as study leave. Young people who fall into this category should also attend the Employability Programme being offered in the school at other times. More information regarding this programme will follow in due course.
- S4 Pupils who do not have any formal exams should also follow the Employability Programme.
A further correspondence will be posted home during the Easter holiday. This will contain important information on exceptional circumstances, appeals and other SQA updates. A copy of individualised pupil timetables will also be included with this letter.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to discuss the contents of this email further.
Yours sincerely,
Craig Knight
Depute Headteacher
