Moving to Scotland in P2

[TravellingRob]

Hello all,

I'm moving with the family from overseas to Scotland. I can push to move this summer (less good), or next. If I move this year, my son will join S1, otherwise S2.

I don't understand the Scottish education system in detail, but the key qualifications seem to be the Nat5s and Highers.

Academically, it doesn't look like he'll be disadvantaged if he moves into P2. P2 seems to be still offering a "broad general education". So I presume he could pick his subjects for Nat5s in P3?

All thoughts welcome!

You seem to be mixing up Primary and secondary but I assume you mean secondary?
I don’t think he’ll be academically disadvantaged by moving in S2, perhaps socially it might be easier to move in S1. They pick their subjects for S3 in S2, usually in the term between Christmas and Easter.

Erm, perhaps the wrong place to post this? I'd recommend you reporting your thread and getting it moved.

Thanks both! Let me correct my confusing typo and move this.
