Peter, who is supported by our Treehouse service, has been busy in the kitchen preparing a hearty pot of soup as part of his work towards his SQA in Healthy Eating. 🥣

From developing practical cooking skills to understanding how food supports his wellbeing, Peter’s time in the kitchen shows how everyday experiences can build confidence and support greater independence.

At Treehouse, we tailor our approach to each individual so people like Peter can take meaningful steps toward their goals.

Great work Peter! 👏

This bears repeating

[Qualifications Scotland @sqanews]

There have been misleading media reports about this year’s Higher History assessments.

The 2024 marking approach was consistent with the 2023 approach and we're confident that the attainment rate accurately reflected learner performance.

Our review of Higher History has concluded that the marking standard in 2024 did not change, and that learners were not disadvantaged.

Independent, external scrutiny of the review has endorsed the findings.
