Good afternoon

We have received an email from the Ayrshire Roads Alliance (ARA) who have asked us to pass on to all parents/carers who are dropping off and picking up children at the School & ECC that the bus bays are for minibuses and taxis only. This space must be left unoccupied to allow children to safely get in and out of the buses and taxis.

The bus companies have contacted ARA directly to raise their concerns and therefore requested we put the message out via our usual platforms.

Thank you for your help and cooperation in this matter.

It has been a very busy term and we are all looking forward to the holidays. This week has been one of the busiest with seven parties, a house treat, a nativity at the church service all rounded off by a dress down/pjs day watching the pantomime. We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to making this a fantastic term.

School closes at 2:30 tomorrow and reopens on Monday 5th January at 9a.m. when we look forward to seeing everyone back, well rested and ready for a fabulous new year!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes!
