Holyrood English Department

Best wishes to all our young people and staff celebrating Eid. Have a wonderful celebration.

Excited about the new timetable and using a Compass Points lesson to get young people thinking about their learning journey!

Wishing all our Higher English candidates the best of luck for their exam tomorrow!

Good luck to all our young people sitting the N5 and AH English exams tomorrow! We’ll be there in the morning to see you into the exam and calm any last minute nerves 💕

A reminder to N5 pupils that there will be a study session running tomorrow, periods 1&2 in English, to support you before next week’s exam.

Eid Mubarak to all our Holyrood families and colleagues celebrating Eid Al-Fitr. Wishing you great joy and peace. #EidMubarak #EidAlFitr

A reminder that Higher English supported study with Ms Ford is running tomorrow morning (11/04) at 9:30am. The focus will be on how to answer the SST 10 mark question and how to upskill critical essay paragraphs.

Mrs Kaya’s S1s were doing some storytelling practice using single images today. This group did so much to get their image just right - 3 different phone torches were used to get the lighting exactly as they wanted it and to make the face behind the red curtain look really creepy!

Our trolley is ready if anyone needs supplies ✏️🍫beside the filing cabinet at the front of Library. Thanks to @HolyroodCOTSD 💖 @HolyroodSec
