Celebrating Success: Liam Logue

After another successful SQA exam year for our S4 to S6 pupils, Dalziel High School is celebrating the extraordinary achievements of one of our new S6 learners.

Liam Logue, a 16-year old pupil from Motherwell, is celebrating this month after attaining an extraordinary set of S5 exam results, all with an A grade - in his fifth year, he studied ten subjects instead of the typical five, including two Advanced Highers in the Maths of Mechanics and Statistics and eight Highers in English, Chemistry, Human Biology, Physics, Computing, Accounts, Geography and Business Management.

“When I opened my exam results, I felt delighted,” Liam said. “It was a busy year and it was a bit of a risk to take so many subjects so I am glad that it all paid off. My parents are proud of me… but my parents would have been proud if I got ten Cs!”

These incredible results join his remarkable accomplishment in attaining Advanced Higher Maths in S4, for which he was awarded the Robert Birch Award for demonstrating outstanding talent in the subject. He was also proud to be selected as the S5 Dux and to receive subject prizes in Physics and Computing. Liam was also recently successful in his application for a highly-competitive Arkwright Engineering Scholarship and hopes to continue his study of STEM at university.

With his eyes already on future academic success, S6 Liam is now studying Advanced Higher Chemistry, Biology, Computing, Accounts, Physics, Economics and Geography. Still, Liam is keen to recognise the role of Dalziel High School in helping him make the most of his talents.

“Thank you to my teachers at Dalziel High School,” Liam said. “They have been very helpful and accommodating with my unusual timetable requests. They have been very supportive in helping me learn as much as I possibly can!”
