Sqa – national 5 and higher folio template.
From 2016 onwards all National 5 and Higher English portfolios will be e-marked, and e-marking requires each candidate’s portfolio to be scanned. To ensure complete accuracy in the scanning process, an electronic template must be used. The template is available in Word format.
- Both folio pieces should be included on one document. Clear headings should be used to make it obvious where one ends and the next begins
- The candidate’s SCN (Scottish Candidate Number), and a page number must be added to the foot of every page in the template, using the boxes provided. These are for the purposes of identification. If you are unsure of your Scottish Candidate Number you can check the Year Group Notice Board or ask your Head of Year.
- Please ensure that the pieces follow the order of the flyleaf, ie. broadly creative followed by broadly discursive.
- You must include your word count for each piece of writing and your list of sources. A list of sources is adequate as footnotes will not transfer on to the template .
It is recommended that the portfolio pieces are printed double-sided where possible. Please do not use staples to collate the pages, as this will disrupt the scanning process. Please also ensure that your work is printed clearly (eg. no print leakage) so that it is legible on screen.
If you have any questions, then please check the following document or ask your teacher for guidance:
