Uniform
The Primary uniform is navy skirt or trousers, blue school polo shirt and school fleece or sweatshirt. Polo shirts, fleeces and sweatshirts with the school logo are available to order from school. In summer, girls may wear school summer dresses. Pupils should bring shorts, T shirt and gym shoes for PE. All pupils change their footwear on arriving at school and should therefore have indoor shoes which are kept in school

Transfer of Pupils from Primary to Secondary
Our aim is to ensure the smooth personal, social and emotional transfer of pupils from primary to secondary. Effective transfer of information regarding pupils progress in areas of Personal and Social Development, Mathematics, Language (French) is also a requirement. This ensures progression and continuity in all aspects of the child’s development and learning.
The process is based on a partnership between pupils, primary staff, secondary staff, and parents and will consider the needs and requirements of all.
Parents will be encouraged to comment on any issues relating to their child’s transfer which will enhance the transition e.g. any special factors which need to be considered when classes are being formed.

Full details available from school office.
