Welcome pack for
new parents & pupils
Congratulations and welcome! You are about to take the
first steps down a path which we hope will be the experience
of a lifetime and one which will provide you with treasured
memories and friendships for years to come.
Our community of parents, grandparents, staff, pupils and
guardians past and present is one of which we are immensely
proud. As you start to prepare for your venture of joining a
new school, either as a parent or pupil, we hope that some
of the information you find here will be useful to help smooth
the way.
These details have been prepared with the help of current
parents who all know what it is like to be new. If you have
any questions at all and you can’t find the answer here, then
please just email Aileen Wilson at a.wilson@strathallan.co.uk
If Aileen doesn’t know the answer then she will be happy to
put you in touch with a parent ambassador or member of
staff who does. Never feel afraid to ask.
