NURSERY – P1 Transition
Usually we meet the new P1 cohort at our first induction event in mid to late May; and many before that through our Nursery visits in the New Year. Over the last 2 years, this has not been possible due to the pandemic restrictions in place. We are very hopeful these will ease, and this will resume soon (and in time for next year’s P1 starts).
Last year we offered socially-distanced face to face visits in small groups for our new P1 pupils with a parent/carer in June. These visits provided the opportunity for parents/carers and children to meet key staff in the P1 classroom, to get a feel for the school, and to ask any further questions they had.
For just now, we hope our online resources go some way towards helping prepare and familiarise your family with the school and what to expect in P1. We have included:
- A general presentation about Hyndland Primary School
- A child-friendly presentation for you to share with your child(ren) at home to give them a first insight into what they can expect to see and do in Hyndland Primary.
- A virtual tour video from some of our very own Hyndland P1 and P7 pupils to show you and your child(ren) around.
- Some questions that were selected by our current P1 parents and carers that they felt would be helpful for us to answer for you as our new P1 parents/carers.
- Some testimonials from our current P1 parents and carers about their experience of what it has been like to become part of the Hyndland Primary community and what the highlights have been for them and their children.
We hope the content of the web page below goes some way towards providing an insight into our school and a ‘feel’ for our nurturing ethos, our shared values and what our team can provide to young people and families.

Virtual Tour
As we are unable to invite families into our school for a tour just now some of our helpful Primary 1 and Primary 7 pupils have created a virtual tour video to help you get to know the school building. The video file is quite large in size and may take a few moments to start playing.

Parent Testimonial
“My little girl and I with the other children and parents went for two visits to Hyndland primary before she started school.
The first visit was with Mr. Frame who was very approachable and gave parents lots of time to ask questions. Mr. Frame then gave us a tour of the parts of the school the primary 1’s would be using. We were given a lot of useful information about the school. I felt very happy with the visit and I asked quite a few questions which were all answered in detail.
On our second visit, we were taken into the primary 1 class my little girl would be in. It was really nice meeting my little girl’s future teacher and the other teachers too. Mr. Frame was there and explained how the staff would support parents and the children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The structure of the school day was discussed and parents were given time to ask any questions. I felt more confident and reassured after these discussions.
We were also e-mailed videos of on-line school tours which my little girl enjoyed watching and lots more information.
All in all the school visits, videos and e-mail information was invaluable for parents and children.
It was all very positive and a big thank you to all the staff!”
