Our S1 curriculum is designed to support the transition from P7 and prepare pupils for further
study in S2 and S3.
Our S2/3 curriculum is designed to allow pupils to continue to enjoy a broad, general education and provide opportunities to developing their skills,
strengths and interests more fully.
