Scots pupils delighted with their SQA exam results success
Proud pupils spoke of their plans for the future as they celebrated exam success across the country yesterday.
Students at Kings Park Secondary School in Glasgow jumped for joy as they learned their Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) grades alongside Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth.
In East Renfrewshire, there were record-breaking results for S4 pupils sitting National 5 exams.
Twin brothers Adam and Matthew Darroch, 16, from Clarkston, both secured identical exam results.
The St Ninian's High pupils both got 9 As in their National 5s but are firmly focused on different career paths.
Matthew said: 'My brother got his results first and when he did so well that made it even more nerve-wracking. I was delighted when my results eventually came through and I'd done just as well.
"I'm planning on doing something with computing, which is a completely different career direction than my brother is thinking about.'
Adam, who is still to decide on a future job, said: 'Obviously having a twin there's competition between us, but it's always done in a fun way.'
St Luke's High pupil Vidhi Chanyal, from Barrhead, landed 5As at Higher after having her first novel published at the end of 2024.
The 17-year-old said: 'I'm really passionate about developing my writing skills and plan to take that forward by studying English Literature at university. I'm delighted with my exam results which will allow me to follow my passion.'
Friends Lulu Bryce and Thomas McIntyre who had lead roles in Harlequin Youth Theatre's production of Bugsy Malone earlier this summer both gained excellent National 5 results despite combining an intense rehearsal schedule with studies at St Ninians.
Lulu, 16, from Eaglesham, said: 'I'm thankful that I've now got the rewards for all my hard work.'
At Boroughmuir High School in Edinburgh, S5 leaver Alex Blues is set to start a job with a local building firm while fellow fifth year pupil Sneha Gadi is returning to school following her exams.
She said: 'I'm hoping to study medicine at university and work towards a career where I can make a difference.'
