We are currently working with all of our associated primary schools to make sure that all young people are able to make a smooth transition to Kingussie High school.

Our associated primary schools are:- 

Alvie Primary School

Aviemore Primary School

Kingussie Primary School

Newtonmore Primary School

We believe that a key part of the transition process is to meet with parents/guardians.  We host our “Teach the Parents’ Evening” for parents/guardians to be able to experience some of the lessons pupils will attend in different departments. There will also be time to meet informally with Pupil Support staff (Guidance and Support for Learning) and the Senior Management Team of Kingussie High School.

Transition arrangements also include visits to our primary schools from key staff as well as an opportunity for next year’s S1 to visit the High School for a number of transition days in June. As part of the visit days we also like to invite parents into the school for a brief presentation, a tour of the school and for an opportunity to meet staff.

In the past parents have welcomed the opportunity to informally discuss any anxieties or concerns that their children may have as well as the chance to put faces to names.
