Year 6 Transition
Welcome Y6 pupils, parents and carers,
I have enjoyed visiting you in your schools over the last few weeks with Mrs Holdsworth. We have had the opportunity to talk to your class teachers and have found out lots of things about you already. We still have a few more small schools to visit.
We will also meet with parents and carers on the evening of the 6 July, from 6–7.30pm.
This website will be updated every week until the end of this term with lots of useful information for you before you join us at King James’s in September.
I hope you enjoy the content over the next few weeks. It will endeavour to answer all your questions about transition from primary to secondary school and ease any worries you may have.

Uniform and Stationery
The current school uniform encourages students to wear different combinations of the blazer, kilt and pullover, ensuring they are always comfortable when attending school. In Year 7 you must show your Royal Stewart tartan either through your kilt or your tie.
During the summer months, students are allowed to remove their pullovers or blazers. Summer uniform will be in place at the headteacher’s discretion.

Frequently Asked Questions
A biro is what most children use. The purple pen is used for self and peer assessment. The maths department sell scientific calculators at a good price so you can order one through school.
Students will find out their forms on their first transition day at KJS- Wednesday 5 July.
