Supporting Your Child’s Journey – A Guide for Parents & Carers
As a parent or carer, you play a vital role in helping your child navigate their education and future pathways. The choices they make throughout school—whether selecting subjects in S3, preparing for National Qualifications, or considering post-school options—can have a big impact on their future opportunities.
At Portobello High School, we are committed to ensuring that families have the information and support they need to guide young people through these important decisions. This section of Porty Pathways is designed to provide clear guidance, practical advice, and key resources to help you support your child at every stage.
