Intro
Primary 7 Transition can be both an exciting time for young people but also a time of uncertainty.
Here at Broughton High School we aim to make the Transition process as smooth as possible for all young people who will be joining us. To that end we work closely with our primary colleagues both in our cluster primary schools (Ferryhill Primary, Flora Stevenson Primary, Granton Primary and Stockbridge Primary) but also with colleagues across the city and beyond. Transition working begins in early October and continues through to when the students finally join us in August.
To support students through P7 Transition one PSL and one member of SFL are allocated as links for each of our Cluster Primary Schools. Identified staff will attend Primary CPM’s as appropriate and will liaise with the primary schools on pupil transition. The allocated staff are:
Ferryhill PS
Ms Sharon Brodie, Pupil Support Leader
Ms Zoe Gillespie, Support for Learning
Flora Stevenson PS
Mr Colin Stewart, Pupil Support Leader
Mrs Noemi Gonzalez, Support for Learning Teacher
Granton PS
Mrs Jenna Drummond, Pupil Support Leader
Miss Sally MacMillan, Support for Learning Leader
Stockbridge PS
Mrs Lydia Milazzo, Pupil Support Leader
Miss Sally MacMillan, Support for Learning Leader / Ms Shona Wallace, Depute Headteacher
Please note we are in regular contact with all our primary schools. Any letters relating to transition will also be sent to them directly via their School Admin. Parents are encouraged to liaise with them in the first instance.

S1 Application Information
If you live within the Broughton High School catchment area your child will be automatically allocated a place in the school. If you do not live in the catchment area your child will be allocated a place at their catchment school. If you would like to apply for a place at Broughton High School, a Non-Catchment Placing Request should be submitted.
Unfortunately, schools cannot process P7 placing requests into S1 as these will be dealt with centrally by Grant, Awards and Placements until August of the session. Full details on placing in schools can be found in the 'Placing in Schools' booklet,
All queries regarding a P7 placing request should be forwarded to:
