Welcome to P6/P7 pupils

The transfer from primary to secondary school is a very important step. Choosing the right secondary school is a difficult decision for you to make. I want to help you make an informed decision, which will result in your son / daughter being offered the best possible secondary education in a school that meets all your requirements.

In MHS we work to keeping our school community involved and informed in making choces. 

Please start by having a look at the Welcome to P6/P7 Pupils given in November:
