Primary 7 Transition
Welcome to our P7 transition page for 2025-2026. Here you will find information for pupils moving up to Madras College in August 2026.
Week beginning 6th October 2025
Two of our support for learning teachers, Olivia McGregor and Laura Sinclair, have been visiting primary headteachers of all 12 of our feeder schools. This is to begin information sharing around our Primary 7s who will be in S1 with us from August 2026.
Tuesday 28th October and Thursday 6th November
At the time of writing this, we have had our first p7 transition parent evening. It was wonderful to see so many parents and pupils on the night. The presentation from the night can be found here.
Coming up next...
In December we will be running our transition coffee mornings. These will be on Wednesday 3rd December, Thursday 9th December and Tuesday 16th December 09:30-10:30. Parents and carers are welcome to choose with dates(s) they wish to come along to. These will be an opportunity to talk with staff and pupils about our school, as well as to see the school during a normal school day. Further information on these mornings will come out from your primary school in due course. We look forward to seeing as many of you as as possible on any of the dates you can manage.
