Hello There
My name is Dugal McCrow
Highland secondary pupils can study Photography at SCQF levels 4 & 5 and Higher, plus Classical Studies at National, Higher and Advanced Higher via distance learning with myself. Also, I have pupils studying towards Advanced Higher Latin and GCSE Classical Greek and work closely with John Garvie, Highland's Distance Learning Tutor for Classical Languages. Candidates with good skills and experience in Photography can be supported with Advanced Higher Art & Design with photography as the medium. Pupils undertaking Duke of Edinburgh Awards can develop their knowledge of photography as their Skill and also gain SQA units along the way.

I am GTCS registered to teach Art & Design/Photography, Philosophy, Latin and Classical Studies. I have recently gained full GTCS registration for Computing Science.

I have been a finalist at the Scottish Education Awards twice, as an individual and as a team leader.
