Years just fly by as pupils aim for the top in exams
Earlier this month, pupils across Scotland received their SQA Examination results – the culmination of years of studying, months of revising and weeks of nail biting tension.
It seems like no time at all since school was a place of discovery, where every day was an adventure and every subject brought with it much curiosity.
However, by the end of second year, children are embarking on a new era in the scholastic career.
From here on in, the years whizz past in a flurry of prelims, examinations and revision aplenty.
For pupils, it is a fraught time and for parents too, when you are caught worrying about your childs future.
After all, the outcome of these few years will largely define their lives going forward.
Wellington pupils once again celebrated exam success this year with excellent National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher results.
At Higher, the pass rate was 97 per cent and over half of the awards were at grade A.
Similar levels of success were achieved at National 5 ( with 69 per cemt of awards at grade A) and Advanced Higher ( with 57 per cent of awards at grade A).
Congratulations go to all of our students for their wellearned results.
Headmaster, Simon Johnson, commented: Pupils at Wellington set themselves very high standards and, with the support of their teachers, work hard to achieve them.
I am delighted that their efforts have been well rewarded. Wellington School is Ayrshires only independent school.
The school welcomes boys and girls from age 3 to 18, offering excellence in teaching, a wide range of extracurricular opportunities and carefully tailored pastoral care. Places are still available in some year groups so why not see what the school is like for yourself at one of the Open Events this September 26 September at 6pm and September 27 at 2pm.
