Today we gave our AH and Higher Maths Candidates Knox Academy the opportunity to write a postcard with some words of wisdom, advise and encouragement to pupils studying Higher and Nat 5. Some wonderful and thoughtful advice and I can’t wait to give these out next week. 💙

This was very much part of a recent Faculty meeting when discussing our five-year plan in Knox Academy Numeracy and Computing Faculty.
