Fernhill School is committed to Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) and presents candidates at Standard Grade, Intermediate, Higher and Advanced Higher levels. Fernhill School is an academic school where each year we consistently produce excellent academic results; this year's results were no exception.

 

The S4 results were excellent with a 100% pass rate at Intermediate 2 and 92% at Standard Grade, The S5 Higher pass rate 87% with 60% of candidates achieving 5 Higher grades, 21% with 5 A passes. This session Advanced Higher results were also of a consistently high standard in line with previous years.

 

Research has demonstrated that single-sex programmes for girls create a classroom climate in which female students can express themselves freely and frequently, and develop higher order thinking skills. Our girls continually experience a high level of academic success and as a result there is an increased demand for places in our senior school.
