Entrance criteria

There is no formal assessment for entrance to S5 at Stewart's Melville College or The Mary Erskine School, but an offer is subject to references/reports from your child's current school and predicted examination results. Your child should also have strong passes at National 5 or GCSE equivalent in the subjects they are planning to study in S5.
