Having a child starting Primary 1 is an exciting time for a family. At Ravenswood Primary we have a robust transition programme designed to support both child and parents to enjoy this experience together.
Following enrolments in January we will identify the teacher who will be receiving the new P1 pupils. In January our P5 pupils are invited to apply for a position as a ‘buddy’ for a new P1 pupil. They are interviewed and the successful applicants receive training on how to carry out their role to the best of their ability. Once trained each P5 pupil is paired with a nursery pupil.
In April, Miss Robertson (Acting Principal Teacher P1-3) and the buddies begin to visit the nursery children who will be joining us in August. The buddy will have the opportunity to play with their P1 in the nursery to allow them to get to know each other. Miss Robertson will have the chance to talk with nursery staff and work with each child in their nursery environment.
In May our current P1 pupils invite the new P1’s and their parents/carers to visit them and will tell them all about what life in P1 is like. Parents will have the opportunity to meet with the Head Teacher, Miss Robertson and the class teacher and will receive all the necessary information needed for the August start.

We are SO excited to welcome new families into our Ravenswood Dream Team! January marks the beginning of the Primary 1 transition process as parents/carers are invited to enrol their child in school for session 2024-2025.
If your child turns 5 years of age between 1st March 2024 and 29th February 2025 they should be registered for school by the 19th of January. On Tuesday 16th and Wednesday 17th of January our school will be open for enrolment. Choose to come on either day between 9:15am – 10:15am or 1:45pm – 2:45pm.
When enrolling you should bring…

You can look forward to lots of smiley faces and school tours led by our very knowledgeable Primary 7s.
We cannot wait to meet you all!
