I would like to take the opportunity to wish Aileen McSherry a long, happy and health retirement and for all her hardwork and commitment over the last 4 years at Knox Academy. Aileen not only taught PE but contributed massively to our extra-curricular programmes too.

All the very best to our two probationer teachers to who have been with us this year – Kate Allen in Modern Studies and Jordan Brunton in History. We wish them luck in securing posts in the near future and thank them for their passion and commitment across the year and their contributions to the wider school.

P7 Transition

It was a great few days welcoming P7s pupils to Knox Academy as part of their transition. They spent Friday getting to know their register teachers and also in team building activities. On Monday and Tuesday they followed their class timetables (the ones they will follow in S1 in August). They all seemed to have really enjoyed their time here and we are very much looking forward to welcoming them to S1 in August. We wish them all well for their last week of primary school. 

Qualification Scotland – Appeals

We hope that all of our young people get the results they hoped for when they receive their exam results on Tuesday 4 August. If they don’t, they may be able to appeal their grade if there is relevant evidence to do so. The information below, provided by Qualifications Scotland, provides advice around this process.

Appeals

If you have concerns about a grade (or grades) on your results certificate, you can use the free appeals service. You can appeal directly to us or ask your school, college or training provider to do this for you. (Ms Machen, our Qualifications Scotland Coordinator will be able to support you with this).

The service will open on results day, Tuesday 4 August at 9...
