Path to PEAK: Higher Ready Study Sessions - S4-S6

The transition from National 5 to Higher represents a significant academic step for many pupils. The Path to PEAK Study Programme designed and led by a neurodiversity and evidence-based learning specialist aims to equip pupils before term begins with: 

  1. A clear understanding of how to study effectively at Higher level. 

  2. Practical, evidence based study strategies. 

  3. Structured routines to support independent learning. 

  4. Confidence in managing the transition to more demanding courses. 

This programme will run across four mornings, combining:  

  • Short, focused teaching inputs 

  • Guided workbook activities 

  • Structured revision practice 

  • Planning and reflection 

This format is intentionally designed to: 

  • Support concentration and engagement 

  • Avoid cognitive overload 

  • Provide high-impact learning without burnout. 

Programme Leader Biography  
Charlotte Peak has over 20 years experience working with young people across Scotland, in both the independent and State sectors. From her experience in working with young people from the Central Belt to remote island communities, Charlotte has developed a deep understanding of the barriers young people face when preparing for exams. In many cases, these challenges are not due to a lack of ability or motivation, but rather an uncertainty about how to revise effectively or which strategies work best for them. 

Charlotte now works as a study skills specialist, supporting students from National 5 and GCSE through to university level. She has developed the PEAK Framework: 

Profile: Identify your unique learning strengths and habits. 
Evaluate: Decode exam structures and examiner expectations. 
Apply: Master cognitive science-backed revision techniques 
Keep consistent: Build sustainable routines and focus.
