Academic Results
Our pupils' performance in national examinations are consistently amongst the very best in Scotland.
HSOG pupils are usually presented for exams in eight subjects at National 5 and five subjects at Higher level. However, a number of candidates choose to sit more than this in one sitting.
We are incredibly proud of the highly impressive results achieved in national examinations and are committed to not only maintaining these excellent standards, but, where possible, improving on them.
We were delighted to be Glasgow's leading school for National 5 and Advanced Higher A grades in the 2025 Exam Diet.
