Summary of Aberdeenshire Council’s Education, Learning and Leisure Service’s Expectations of Secondary Schools
• A Broad General Education until the end of S3 is essential;
• Implementation of the new SQA qualifications from session 2013-14;
• Pupils’ experiences in the Broad General Education, S1-3, should not predetermine young people’s options for qualifications in S4 and beyond.
• The Senior Phase, S4-6, will be combined no later than 2014-15.
