Why a Strong Higher English Grade is So Important
Higher English isn't just about analysing Shakespeare; it's about developing the critical thinking and communication skills your child will need for any degree and future career. A strong pass, especially an 'A', doesn't just meet the entry requirements for top universities in Scotland and beyond – it shows admissions tutors that your child can argue a point, structure an essay, and think independently. These are the skills that will help them thrive, whatever path they choose.

Providing progress in English through tailored support
I am a qualified primary school teacher with experience across both mainstream and specialist settings. For the past three years, I have worked in a school for children with social, emotional and mental health needs, all of whom have Education, Health and Care Plans. This has given me a strong foundation in trauma informed practice, personalised learning and the importance of building safe, trusting relationships so that children feel confident and supported in their learning. I believe these approaches benefit all children, not just those with additional needs.Before working in specialist education,...
