Lomond pupils have worked exceptionally hard to achieve excellent public examination results at S4, S5 and S6. At Higher 60% of grades were either an A or a B, whilst at Standard Grade and Intermediate 2 67% of the results were either a 1 or an A grade which is a tremendous performance for S4 pupils. At Advanced Higher 71% of candidates achieved either an A or B grade. These results represent hours of hard work and the investment of significant effort.
Pupils of all abilities have done exceptionally well with great effort over a sustained period of time and working closely with their teachers. Very many congratulations must go to the 25 pupils who gained 6 or more grades at A or 1 in S4 out of their 8 subjects, which is 67% of this year group. This is a superb set of results for them.
