Primary 7 is a very busy year, Transfer, Transition and Tests but we ALWAYS try and have fun. There are lots of opportunities for children to participate and lead school assemblies and themed activities throughout the year. Children are encouraged to take a leadership role and become P1 buddies and digital leaders. We remember to celebrate all we have achieved throughout the year and the years prior. We end our year with a residential trip and children get to experience life away from home comforts and learn life skills in a fun, encouraging and engaging way.  Keep an eye on the website to see all the exciting activities we get up to!
