I have one son in p5 and another in p2. Have opportunity to move within Ayrshire/East Ren so am looking at high school options. Both my kids are quite academic and will probably go to uni. So as far as I can see South Ayrshire schools do 6 nationals in s4 with option to do 6 in s5 (not sure if this means 6 highers or mixed with more nat 5s) East Ayrshire do 7 in s4 then 5 in s5 and east ren do 8 nationals across s3 and 4 then 5 highers. I'm not sure which of these arrangements would be the best. Does having more nat5s make a difference for uni admission? (I am pretty sure when I studied medicine no one was concerned how many standard grades I had) but does only doing 6 close down future options too much? Why is this not standardised across Scotland, it just doesn't seem fair!
