School Model for August

Leave a comment

Please note that all parents will receive a text message on Tuesday to indicate the days your child/children will attend school from August.  Our classes have been split in half with Group A children attending on Mon/Tues and Group B children attending Thurs/Frid.  A letter will also be sent to every family to give fuller details in regard of class teacher and time for starting and finishing school.

Please note the booklet below  gives some details to support the return to school in August.

As a staff team we thank you for your great support at these challenging times and for supporting your child’s learning at home.  It has been a delight to see how well children have interacted with their teachers and completed their assigned tasks.  Great independent and successful learners.  They really have been a credit to you and a joy to work with this session.

Transition visits for new intake – Pr.1

Leave a comment

This week we are delighted that we will be able to meet the children who will form our new Pr. 1 in August.  It has no doubt been a strange few months for our new starts but we aim to familiarise our new pupils with the infant department, their class, meet their teacher and new classmates.  All schools have taken different approaches to how this will take place as every school is unique.  We aim to replicate our usual induction programme which means the children go to the class with their teacher (small groups of 8 pupils) for a period of 45 minutes.  Parents will be invited to the school hall  to meet the senior management team and to discuss transition.

Transition Visits for Pr. 7

Leave a comment

St.Ambrose High School have done a fine job over the last few weeks providing a comprehensive transition programme to support our Pr.7 pupils and their move to high school in August.  Whilst the video clips don’t replace the experience of actually being in the building they have been highly informative and have given a flavour of what to expect in each department.  Mr. McMullen – Depute Head- has been in touch to invite pupils who require an enhanced transition and has provided the opportunity to visit the school.  Those visits will take place on Tuesday 16th June.

St.Ambrose have now extended that invitation to all Pr. 7 pupils – as noted on a release on their twitter account.  The dates are Wed. 17th and Thurs. 18th June.  However, please note our pupils have benefitted from a visit to the school in November and have watched the virtual transition programme online.  St.Ambrose is currently being used as a hub so there are staff and children working in the building.  The impact of this means  the visit will be short and restricted to two departments with only one pupil and one carer permitted to attend.  Please check the details on St.Ambrose twitter to determine if you feel this visit necessary to support transition at this time.
