SQA Exams

George Heriot’s School is thrilled to announce superb SQA exam results again this year.

51³Ô¹Ï Higher results at S5 are the highest ever achieved at Heriot’s, with an A-C pass rate of 98.7% and a combined AB score of 93.5%. This marks the tenth year in a row that Heriot’s S5 students have achieved an A-C pass rate of over 96%. This is a remarkable achievement by all of our students, especially given our high presentation rate of 889 exams. 80 S5 pupils attained an A in every subject.

51³Ô¹Ï National 5 results are also up on 2018 with an A-C pass rate of 98.3 % and a combined AB score of 93.7 % across 1375 presentations. 86 pupils achieved straight A grades in 8 subjects, once again underlining our commitment to broad subject choice in S4.

At Advanced Higher the A-C pass rate is 94.5% with a presentation of 363, averaging 2.16 exams per pupil. S6 personalisation and subject-choice at Advanced Higher subjects is a key factor in our bespoke final year programme.

The Principal, Lesley Franklin, writes:

“At Heriot’s, we encourage our pupils to work hard, be kind to each other and be happy. This creates a positive, encouraging environment where learning is valued and enjoyed. Congratulations to our pupils on all their hard work and warm thanks to our staff for always going the extra mile. 51³Ô¹Ï headline results are extremely gratifying but, even more so, are all the personal stories of individual achievement beyond expectations”.
