P7- S1 Transition 2020-21

Welcome to St Augustine’s RC High School. We are delighted to hear that you are joining us in August 2021 and look forward to meeting you soon.

Unfortunately we are unable to have an Open Evening or Face to Face transition visit but on this page, you will find a virtual tour of the school and some other information which will be of interest. You can also have a general look around the website as well. You will also have hopefully managed to complete some of the work on the P7 Teams page.

LipDub video / virtual tour of the school can be found here on YouTube.v=btUPxCuoRyg

You may also find the BBC Bitesize – Starting Secondary School website helpful.

Our Pupil Support Leaders will hopefully be able to visit you in your Primary schools in the summer term.

Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions – but unfortunately, we cannot meet face-to-face at present.

Information for Parents

Thank you to all the Parents who attended our virtual Parents’ Evening on Wednesday 16th June. Apologies again for the technical issues with the sound for some of the slides and information. Please find the relevant presentations here:

How to support your child’s literacy – should take you to our youtube channel as it is too large a file to display here

You may also find the supports on our mental health and wellbeing supports useful.

Further information and supports for parents/ carers can be found on our Parent/ Carer page of our website or some more specific supports for our BAME/ POC families are also available here.
