“Our exam results are consistently above the national average yet we don’t select our pupils on

ability like most independent schools. In 2017 the pass rate at Higher (A-C) was 100%. Within the

Scottish independent sector, we are are in the top 15 schools taking Highers (2019).”

Alumni Spotlight
