S2 pupils will be taking part in MidYIS assessment on Monday 9th December. MidYIS is very similar to SNSA assessments, in that it is a diagnostic tool to help us identify the progress pupils are making and allows us to plan learning and teaching more effectively. Pupils do not need to revise or prepare and there is no pass or fail. More information here
