OLDER pupils throughout East Lothian will have their provisional exam grades issued by schools on Tuesday.
For the second year running, the coronavirus pandemic meant there have been no formal National 5, Higher or Advanced Higher exams.
Instead, teachers at secondary schools throughout Scotland have been asked to put forward grades based on in-class assessments.
The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) will then formally confirm the grade on August 10. Pupils are able to appeal, although their grades can be revised up or down.
