P1 transition visits will take place on Monday 22nd and Tuesday 23rd June at Burnbrae Primary. Individual times will be emailed to families as soon as possible.
During this visit, your child will get the opportunity to spend some time in school, meet their P1 Teacher and some of the other children who will be in their class. Nursery staff will be available to support with the visit.
We will operate within the Government guidelines of physical distancing and handwashing throughout the transition visit. Attendance at the transition visit can only be for those children who are well. Please do not send your child if he/she is unwell. We also understand that some families may be shielding or self-isolating and are unable to attend the transition visit.

Thank you for your patience during these challenging times.
