School Transitions

Transitions

The transition process for children heading off to school in August is well underway.

By now, children have all visited their feeder school on at least one occasion and for some children more visits are in the diary.

We have children going to Isobel Mair School, Crookfur Primary, St Cadoc’s Primary, Kirkhill Primary and Mearns Primary this year.

Teachers from some of the schools have dropped in to the Family Centre to say hello and spend a little time with the children.

If you have any queries about transitions to school, please ask Gary.
