Westray Junior High School caters for children from 3-16 years of age. All pupils follow the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. Pupils start Nursery at 3 years of age, moving to Pre-school year the following year. We have 2 classes in the Primary Department: P1 – 3 for 5 – 7 year olds and P4-7 for 8 -11 year olds. Pupils from S1 – S3 (12 – 14 years) follow the Broad General Curriculum before entering their Senior Phase in S4, when they take their final qualifications which are called Nationals. Our senior pupils almost always achieve well above the Scottish National average.
