“Our exam results are consistently above the national average,

yet we don’t select our pupils on ability

like most independent schools.

In 2024, ESS pupils achieved a 96% pass rate for Highers.

Three out of five results were attained at the highest level.

Scotland overall is 74.9%,

with less than a third (30.3%) awarded an A grade.

Our exam classes are typically five to eight pupils.”
