National 4/5

At St. Andrews Academy the National 4 and National 5 course run concurrently with one another in throughout the year. 
The course is split into distinct areas:
1. Factors Impacting Performance
2. Performance Skills

The main coursework is taught through Factors Impacting Performance. This involves one theory lesson and one practical lesson a week, where pupils put into practice what they are being taught. 

Throughout the year pupils complete course work which is known as the FIP Booklet. This is a mandatory piece of coursework to pass National 4 and National 5. 

National 5 pupils will have the opportunity to select and activity to complete a 'One Off Performance'. This is worth 40 marks.
Pupils can choose an activity that they feel they will receive the most amount of marks on. The department recommends that an internal activity is chosen, but if a pupil has a significant strength in an external activity that may be used. 
Pupils will complete written work before and after their one off performance. This course work is mandatory and is worth 20 marks in total. 

National 5 pupils will also complete a 'Portfolio'. This is an external piece of work which gives them the opportunity to show their understanding of the work done throughout the year. This is externally marked and worth 40 marks.
