Morrison's Exam Results
The wait for examination results is now over and Morrison's Academy pupils are celebrating their success in this year's SQA exams. The pass rate at Higher across all subjects is a very strong 87%, the same as achieved last year. The pass rate in Advanced Higher examinations has jumped 4 points to 85% and the pass rate at Intermediate 2 remains an impressive 94%.
There were many notable individual successes including 20 S4 pupils attaining an A grade in all of their examinations. Four S5 pupils achieved a clean sweep of five A grades at Higher, and four S6 pupils finished their schooling with three Advanced Higher A grades. These included Rebecca Dickie and Arthur Learoyd who will now go on to study at Cambridge University and Oxford University respectively.
Arthur proved himself to be a worthy recipient of the Dux Medal with very impressive scores of 98% in Advanced Higher Mathematics and 100% in Advanced Higher History.
