English Portfolio Writing Assessments

All English students who are on National 5 and Higher courses will do a writing assessment under controlled conditions between mid-October and early November.

Candidates have been preparing for this assessment in class. They will be able to bring in a plan and a page of notes, each being one page of A4 paper. This will be the first draft of the essay and candidates will be able to redraft this piece before it is submitted to SQA for marking. This piece of work makes up 30% of their final mark so it is very important that candidates attend the assessment and are fully prepared. Information on how to support your young person will be shared in the very near future.
