Around this time of year thousands of Primary 7 pupils will be visiting their local High School as part of their induction towards becoming high school students from August. In Edinburgh's secondary schools pupils will visit high schools on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week. This visit is intended to help reduce the uncertainly and allay any fears that exist as we prepare for the summer holidays. On Tuesday morning we will welcome 200 P7 boys and girls to Gillespie's for their 3 day visit. In order to keep parents informed we held a 'P7/S1 information evening' tonight in our Assembly Hall. I was delighted at the very high turnout. As I said to parents earlier tonight, I am looking forward to working with all our new pupils and our families in the years ahead. All of our pupils are expected to aim for university level qualifications by the time they leave us in S6. When teachers and parents work closely together we are more effective and successful in supporting our children.
