Work is also taking place in Language where all P7 will complete a Unit Study on a novel for English and in Maths. The role of the school chaplain here is also important, and Fr Bagan our chaplain visits all the primary seven classes throughout the year to build up contact with our new intake. All this is clear evidence of our cluster partnership at work to ensure continuity of the curriculum from primary to secondary. This is a major part of our School Development Plan. A substantial number of our pupils now live outside the Stirling Council area.
Every effort is made to ensure that their transfer is smooth and trouble free.
A perennial issue is likely to be one of transport. The Joint School Boards are well aware of the importance of this issue and have resolved with the community of schools to monitor the transport policies of the various authorities with a view to keeping parents fully informed. In addition to the programme of visits, including one where they follow a first year pupil's timetable for the day, our future pupils will be given an information booklet about St Modan's. Our future first years are informed in their last weeks of Primary 7 as to which class they will join in St Modan's in the following August. Parents Parents are warmly welcomed to attend meetings with the Head Teacher and other Senior Staff and to view our excellent facilities in May of their child's Primary 7.
