Transition Arrangements
A transition programme is in place to help support pupils transferring from nursery to primary. Visits to and from nursery ensure that the transition is effective and supportive, P.7 buddies are allocated to the new P.1 pupils and support the pupils in their early days of P.1.
It is important that our children feel happy and secure in our school. We want them to know their teachers and their new friends before starting Primary 1. We want to form a partnership with the parents from the time of enrolment. We will arrange a series of come and play afternoons and 2 half day visits for pupils and parents in May/June, before the children start Primary 1 in August.
All important information is transferred from Nursery/other establishments as part of our transition programme.
