Health Provision
At certain times during your child’s school career, your child may receive a full medical examination by the Highland Health Board, to which you will be entitled to attend. The school nurse also makes regular inspections of the children. Your child’s hearing and sight will also be tested periodically by visiting medical officers or by the school nurse.
Any parent who wishes to opt out of any part of the health provision for their child must contact the Head Teacher.
Psychological Service (Education)
The Highland Council helps the staff in a supportive role by providing further assessment for any child we feel may have learning difficulties, through the Psychological Services. With the help of our Support for Learning Teacher, we now carry out various specialist assessment techniques to pinpoint particular difficulties. We are always in close contact with our Psychological Service to discuss the review test results and child progress.
Speech & Language Therapy (Health Board)
In the Nursery and school we have the services of the Speech and Language Therapist, who provides screening and follow-up of our children. She works closely with Class Teachers and Support for Learning Auxiliaries.
Secondary Education
Our children normally transfer to Golspie High School at the end of Primary 7.
In the months leading up to the transition, much communication takes place between the P7 Class Teacher and both the Pastoral Care Department and Support for Learning Departments of the High School.
In the summer term, P7 pupils will have a visit from a member of the Guidance Team and a visit from a senior pupil, before spending 3 Familiarisation Days in the High School. We organise transition activities along with Secondary Departments.
Any pupils with additional support needs will have extra transition arrangements put in place.
