In our schools we organise our curriculum so that all pupils are focusing on the same bundles of curricular experiences and outcomes at the same time.\u00a0 Pupils are taught according to which curricular level that they are working at rather than completing \u2018P4\u2019 work or \u2018P6\u2019 work.\u00a0 This means that there are no ceilings put on a child\u2019s learning.\u00a0 Each child in our partnership schools is taught according to their own learning needs so that they are appropriately challenged.\u00a0 Registration classes are necessary because we only have capacity for 25 pupils to be in each multi-composite class.\u00a0 In our schools no child is ever \u2018kept back\u2019.<\/p>\n

Pupil Progress End of Year Summary Reports<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nEnd of year summary reports will be sent to parents at the end of term.\u00a0 Please rest assured that we will get in touch with you if we feel that your child is experiencing any barriers to learning.\u00a0 We have gathered a range of assessment evidence to inform us about pupil progress and this helps us to ensure that we are meeting learners\u2019 needs.\u00a0 In the meantime, if you have any concerns about your child\u2019s progress then please contact your child\u2019s teacher.<\/p>\n

P7-S1 Transition<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nOur Primary 7 pupils will be visiting Castle Douglas High School in the morning of Friday 18th<\/sup> June.\u00a0 They will also complete transition activities online this term.\u00a0 The traditional \u2018moving up days\u2019 were meant to be on 16th<\/sup>, 17th<\/sup> and 18th<\/sup> June but as materials will\u00a0 be provided online, we have a degree of flexibility which is why I have booked the Galloway Activity centre on one of these days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
N-P1 Transition<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nI have already been in contact with your child\u2019s pre-school provision to find out more about them.\u00a0 We aim to invite pre-school children to visit after 3pm for a ten minute tour of the school.\u00a0 Our Primary 1 teachers will be setting up closed Facebook pages for new P1 parents so that information can be shared there.\u00a0 Our current P1 pupils will make a video for our new P1s telling them all about life in school. \u00a0Our new P1s will also be introduced to their \u2018buddies\u2019 for next year (usually our current P6s but sometimes P5s too). \u00a0Parents will receive a PowerPoint presentation explaining key information about the school and the expectations for Primary 1 pupils and parents.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As always, please get in touch if you wish to discuss anything further.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Best wishes,<\/p>\n
