Due to the Nursery being located within the primary school building, transition for most of the children going into the Primary One class is smooth and seamless.
Kirkshaws staff put a great deal of effort into developing strong links between associate nurseries to ensure that all children, and not just those attending Kirkshaws Primary Nursery Class, experience the same quality of transitional care.
In the summer term a Primary 1 teacher visits each child within their nursery environment and liaises closely with each child’s Nursery Keyworker. Nursery pupils visit the Primary 1 classrooms in small groups regularly in their pre-school year. We also offer parent and child workshops in the term prior to the children starting school.
These give the children the chance to familiarise themselves with their new class, teacher and peers.
It is also an opportunity for parents to learn more about the experience their children will have as a pupil at Kirkshaws and an outline of the Curriculum we follow.
