Transport Times on 2nd April

 Early Closure Easter 2026 Transport Update
 
The Easter school closure on Thursday 2nd April 2026 whereby all schools close at 2.30pm will no doubt have an impact on pupils who access school transport. We have many linked contracts that serve both primary pupils as well as secondary pupils across both mainstream and ASN schools.
To ensure efficient transport provision on this date and to ease congestion, all contractors will arrange to collect primary children at 2pm and secondary pupils thereafter at around 2.30pm.
Thank you

Car Park

Leave a comment

The Car Park entrance is being fixed today which means no one will be able to drive in the normal entrance .
Could everyone please enter the car park via the entrance at the turning circle.  
We realise this is going to cause a bit of disruption and ask that everyone takes extra care when entering / exiting the car park or avoids using the car if possible.
Thank you for your continued support.

Parent Teacher Appointments

Leave a comment

Have you made your parent appointment for the 26th March 2026 yet?

Please make sure you telephone the school office to arrange a time to come and speak to your child’s teacher. See the progress they have made.  The children’s work is available to see, both jotter  and displayed work. We know the children enjoy showing off what they have done,  parents enjoy seeing the progress they have made and so we look forward to seeing you there.

The Book Fair is also available in the hall.  We are a cashless school so payment is made via the Book Fair QR code on your phone.

Bikeability

Leave a comment

Mrs Fairbairn has completed a Bikeability Instructor training course with Cycling Scotland. We are hoping to run Level 1 for our P6 year group in Term 4 when the better weather arrives, in conjunction with Active Schools and Bikeability Scotland.
Within Level 1 – Riders learn how to prepare for a journey, check their bike and equipment are safe, and develop control skills, good observations and decision making. They also learn the importance of sharing space responsibly with other people. Training is completed in a traffic free setting.
As the ratio of adults to learners is set at a strict 1:15 for rider safety we would like to gauge interest in such a course to allow us to timetable sessions in the playground to accommodate P6 cyclists.
Please read the attached parents guide to become familiar with the course content and complete the questionnaire below.

Leave a comment

Dear Parent/Carer 
If you choose to apply for your National Entitlement Card through the school, please read the information below and follow the links to apply.

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.

For pupils under the age of 16 parents must apply for the National Entitlement Card on behalf of their child.  We will only accept applications from parents registered as the main contact for each pupil.  Parents have the option of having the Young Scot branding and / or The PASS Hologram and / or the Free Bus Travel added to this card.
