Children from St Andrew’s Primary usually transfer to:
St Joseph’s Academy
Grassyards Road
Kilmarnock
KA3 7SL
Tel: 01563 526144
Email: eastjosephs.ac@eastayrshire.org.uk
Parents will be invited to a meeting with St Joseph’s staff before the children are due to begin secondary school.
Primary 7 pupils are visited by Miss Cathie and PC Dempster in March, and are given the opportunity to visit St Joseph’s in Term 4.
For pupils with an identified additional support need, in consultation with the parent, pupil, and class teacher and if necessary the educational psychologist, an extended transition programme may be put in place. This will provide the individual child with a greater period of time to adjust as part of the transition process and enable them to work closely with the pastoral care team at St Joseph’s Academy.
