P7 Transition to S1

P7 parents – please remember there is the final open evening at Madras on 23rd February from 6-7pm. If you haven’t yet visited the school with your child, I recommend you attend this meeting. In the early part of February we will have a meeting from Mr Currie (HT) and Mr Wishart (DHT) who will meet with all of the children. We have already begun to share information to support transition and in May, the guidance team will visit school to meet with us to ensure they have all the final necessary details. In the summer term, all children will make transition visits to Madras. The main three day visits are on 13th, 14th and 15th June and there is an open evening for parents and P7s on the evening of 15th. Some children will benefit from additional visits over and above that and this will be arranged according to need. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s transition to Madras. A worry for parents and children can be getting ready early enough in the morning to catch the bus! I recommend planning and preparing for this slowly e.g. decide that in Feb your child will aim to be ready by 8:30, then in March: 8:15, then in April: 8:00 and then in May, by 7:45. This way, catching the bus on the three day visit and again in August won’t come as quite such a shock! We will also being doing some work on this with the children.
