St Patrick’s Primary School offers an induction programme for parents which usually consists of one meeting during the month of June and a further two meetings in September. Our induction programme aims to:
- Promote St Patrick’s Primary as a centre of excellence inform parents of the day to day running of the school introduce parents to the Primary One programmes of study in all areas of the curriculum
- Allow parents the opportunity to handle and sample the various resources used to implement the programmes of study
- Involve and encourage parents to participate in the education of their children
The Head Teacher of St Patrick’s Primary will afford the teachers of the new primary one classes the opportunity to visit the local nursery school. In this way, the teachers will get to know the new pupils and so make transition for them much easier and smoother.
The Principal Teachers will visit pupils from local Nurseries before they start school. Our transition programme includes planned visits to our Primary 1 classes from April to June prior to starting in August.
Children will be invited along for a series of visits before the Induction day in June. Letters will be sent out with specific arrangements via email nearer the time.
