TRANSFER FROM PRIMARY TO SECONDARY SCHOOL

Pupils are normally transferred between the ages of eleven and a half and twelve and a half, so that they will have the opportunity to complete at least four years of secondary education.

Parents will be informed of the school arrangements no later than December of the year preceding the date of transfer at the start of the new session.

 

Normally pupils from Woodlands Primary continue to:

Greenfaulds High School

Athelstane Drive

Cumbernauld, G67 4AQ

Tel; 01236 727956

Head Teacher: Ms L Park

 

We enjoy a good relationship with the staff of Greenfaulds High School and both ourselves and Greenfaulds High aim to make the transition from primary to secondary a simple process for our pupils.

To this end, the following types of activities take place

 

• In November Greenfaulds holds a meeting for the parents of pupils transferring there in the following August.
• Visits to Greenfaulds High by our P7 pupils in June to follow a sample S1 timetable for 2 days and meet some of the staff
• Throughout the year Greenfaulds staff visit Woodlands Primary and our pupils enjoy meeting staff from English, Maths, Guidance, Technical and Learning Support departments.
• Throughout the year pupils take part in a wide range of events at Greenfaulds High School alongside pupils from the other cluster primaries.

 

There are regular liaison meetings with one of the Depute Head Teachers of Greenfaulds High School and associated Primary Head Teachers to discuss issues and plan co-operatively.
