Our Starting School illustrated guide is a unique, lively, pupil-friendly way to inform families about transition. Not only does it help ease common transition concerns in a readable and enjoyable way, it also makes starting school a lot of fun! It encourages and supports a pupil's conversation with their parents about starting secondary school.
Because they actually illustrated our school, it made the guide very personal and meaningful.. It's such a great idea!. As well as aiding transition, we can also use it to market the school by handing out to our feeder primaries.
All Scottish schools would benefit from doing this. It's an example of best practice.
