Exam Results 2024

A reflection of outstanding focus, effort and attainment.

I am delighted to announce the results of this year’s SQA examinations. In what has been an exceptional year for the school, pupils have attained an excellent set of awards across the board.

•  At National 5 level our S4 pupils achieved 98.4% pass rate (A-C) with 85.7% passes at A grade.
•  At Higher level our S5 pupils gained 97.2% passes (A-C) with 70.3% at A grade. In total 71 pupils achieved straight A grades in their Higher exams, a remarkable number.
•  Finally, and maintaining these high standards, were the S6 cohort, who achieved 94.4% (A-C) at Advanced Higher Level (with 62% at A grade) as well as a 95.7% (A-C) pass rate in those Highers that they sat.

This collective accomplishment is a true reflection of the hard work, dedication and tenacity of each and every pupil.

In addition to the pupils, the efforts of the teaching staff must also be acknowledged. Their professionalism, care and effort are once again borne out through the pupils’ exam results.

These results are a reflection of who we are as a school, and are testament to the vibrant, caring and highly academic ethos that guides George Heriot’s and rounds off a remarkable year following the superb Education Scotland Inspection report awarded this summer.

Finally, we wish all our leavers who are either embarking upon their next stage of education, or entering the workplace, a productive and enjoyable future.

Yours sincerely

Gareth Warren

Principal
