Coatbridge High School Handbook 23-24

 

Pupils normally transfer to secondary between the ages of 11½ and 12½, so that they will

have the opportunity to complete at least four years of secondary education. Parents will be informed of the transfer arrangements no later than December of the year preceding the date of transfer.

Throughout the school year we work closely in partnership with Coatbridge High School. In preparation, for transfer to secondary school, many, varied transition opportunities are provided for our pupils, beginning as early as Primary Five. Staff from Coatbridge High School visit our school regularly to deliver lessons and meet with our pupils. Our pupils are also provided with several opportunities to visit the secondary setting, allowing them to become familiar with the layout of the building and meet senior pupils and members of the management team. Furthermore, our pupils meet their future class mates from other local primary schools and begin to develop new friendships. Importantly, staff meet regularly to ensure all information relating to our pupils’ continued development is passed to the receiving school.  Where pupils have additional support needs, an enhanced transition is arranged. Of course, any additional provision is discussed and agreed beforehand with parents and carers, who are encouraged to contribute to this process.
