Transition calendar ECC P1 2026
Click on the link above to see the calendar of transition from ECCs to Galston Primary School for those children who join us in Primary One in August 2026.
We are looking forward to meeting you all!
Application form 1 below is for pupils aged 5 to 10 years old, so will only affect your ECCs, Primary and Special schools. It will only affect your ECCs at this point if a pupil has deferred entry to primary. All other ECC pupils will not be aged 5 until 1 March 2022. This card was previously known as the NEC Junior Card and is now known as the Kidz Kard. East Ayrshire did not use the NEC Junior card as we had our own version The Shout Card. The Shout Card will continue to be administered by Vibrant Communities but will not include the Free Bus Service Travel chip. Parents must apply for this card on behalf of their child. We will only accept applications from parents registered as the main contact for each pupil.

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!
