Primary 7 Senior Prep
At Kelvinside Academy, the move from Primary 7 to Senior 1 is made seamless by a transition year known as Senior Prep. The Senior Prep experience is designed to prepare pupils of P7 age both academically and emotionally for Senior School.
Increased Independence
When they transition from J6, pupils move to their own area within Senior School but still have their own teacher and classrooms, maintaining the colour and liveliness of the Junior School, whilst giving them increased independence and a taste of life in Senior 1.
Curriculum
Senior Prep pupils study Maths, English and Social Subjects with their class teacher, and go to subject specialists for Science, ICT, Innovation, Modern Languages, Art, Music, RMPS and PE. Emphasis is placed on developing independent study and time management skills to enable pupils to meet the demands of the Secondary School curriculum and timetable.
Pastoral Care
Senior Prep class and form teachers work closely with the Senior School Pastoral Team to ensure the transition process into Senior 1 is seamless and the School has a robust system in place for the transfer of academic and pastoral information.
Join in Senior Prep
The Senior Prep year is a good entry point for pupils joining the school. It is the first of the three-year experience from SP to S2 in which students follow a broad range of subjects as a general introduction to the senior curriculum.
