More opportunities
Midlothian Council’s Cabinet Member for Education, Councillor Ellen Scott said: “I can still remember the stress of sitting exams and then waiting on the results - a good few summers ago now! I really hope our young people are getting the passes they wanted – but if things didn’t quite work out as planned, there is plenty of support and information on the SQA website and at your school, including careers, health and wellbeing advice. This is the start of your journey, there will be many more opportunities for you to study in the future.”
