In Scotland, the equivalent of KS3 falls within the Broad General Education (BGE) phase, covering S1 to S3. Students in Dundee follow the Curriculum for Excellence during these years, with learning organised into experiences and outcomes across eight curriculum areas. Our tutors support students through this phase, ensuring they're well prepared for the qualifications that begin in S4.
S1–S3: Building for National 5s
The BGE years are when students in Dundee develop the foundational knowledge and skills that National 5 courses build on. Our tutors focus on the core areas — literacy, numeracy, and scientific literacy — while also helping students develop the independent learning skills that become essential from S4 onwards.
Making the Most of Subject Choices
Towards the end of S3, students in Dundee narrow their subjects ahead of National 5 study. Our tutors can help students understand what each subject involves at National 5 level and make choices that keep their options open for Highers and beyond.
Our tutors in Dundee work with S1–S3 students across core subjects. Weekly sessions help maintain steady progress and build the good habits that pay off throughout the senior phase. Contact us to discuss your child's needs.
