S3 Maths
In S3 pupils are 'set' into ability sections for Maths.
Those decisions are made on the basis of a pupil’s CfE grades achieved in S2.
The department follows a policy of continual assessment which may
result in pupils changing class according to performance.
Pupils follow a CfE 3rd level or 4th level course in S3.
