Traditionally, S6 pupils at Morrison’s Academy study a blend of Advanced Higher, Higher and, if necessary, National 5 courses in S6.

When making decisions about subject choice, pupils should consider their aspirations for life beyond school and any specific subjects required for a university course or intended career.

Studying a ‘crash’ Higher in S6 can be an effective way of broadening pupils’ knowledge and is often seen favourably by universities and colleges. While not always recommended, there is the option to study ‘crash’ Advanced Highers in some subjects in S6 should pupils wish to do so.

Pupils are not restricted by a subject column structure allowing them greater personalisation and choice as well as the opportunity to select subjects that are likely to offer them the greatest possibility of success.

Heads of House consult closely with parents and offer pupils advice on the best subject choices for them; every effort is made to accommodate these choices.
