School Open Days and Evenings offer a fantastic opportunity for your child to explore their potential future school, soaking in its culture, ethos, subjects, and activities. It’s the perfect chance to see where they might thrive which makes it well worth attending to embrace the experience.
This handy blog, with all the post-primary schools in alphabetical order, helps you stay organised by tracking key dates and hopefully ensuring you don’t miss any of your important events.
Unless explicitly stated, all school open events welcomes both P6 and P7 children so it is obviously a great opportunity to get ready for the P7 results but it can also give the P6 child something to work towards as the year progresses towards the SEAG tests.
I hope you find this both helpful and inspiring!

More about The Transfer Tutor App
The Transfer Tutor App is an online site dedicated to providing fun and interactive quizzes aligned directly to the SEAG specification. All quizzes are broken down into manageable topics and can be done on any mobile or tablet device, so it’s an great way for kids to learn and prepare for the test.
There are many, great features including (but not limited to):
- Quizzes broken down into specific English and Maths topics, to allow for focused learning and the ability to hone in on areas of weakness.
- Mobile friendly and works on any internet device.
- ‘Hint’ option supports the child’s learning. For example, in question about calculating area of an irregular shape, the hint will say, “Break it into two” – enough to keep the child going but teaching them for future, similar questions.
- The Leaderboard at the end makes the child feel like they’re playing a game and having friendly competition.
- Good use of colour and graphics which makes it exciting.
- Parents receives a progress email at the end to let them know how their child did.
How To Buy:
All normal licences are a simple, one-off payment (except the monthly subscription of course) and they can be purchased in confidence through a normal PayPal account or using a normal bank card and the Guest option.
Licences are purchased depending on the length of time required and as additional years are only charged at £20 per year, it’s worth considering a longer licence if you have a younger sibling.
