National Entitlement Card
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.

Thank you to all of the families who came and joined in with all of the activities showing innovation and creativity on Tuesday. It was wonderful to see all of the adults participating with their children, the children who were leading being so confident and the adults having fun and a chance to try new things. Thank you also to those who left feedback it is much appreciated.
Parental Engagement Evening – Innovation and Creativity
A reminder we are having an open evening in the school on Tuesday 20th January from 6pm to 7pm. We will be showcasing some of the work being done at various stages across the school this session. Our theme is innovation and creativity. This is a drop-in session where you are able to visit the different bases and speak to some of the children about what they have been doing.
From 7pm -7.30pm, we will also have an information session for P7 parent/carers who are going on the residential in March. Information packs will be given out and sent home with children who’s parents/carers are unable to attend.
We look forward to welcoming you all there.

Halloween Dress Down/Dress Up
This month dress down day is on Friday 31st October. To support our Christmas Fayre preparations we are taking donations of chocolate or bottles.
The children are welcome to dress down in casual clothes or dress up in Halloween costumes. We advise that any items – pirate cutlasses, light sabers etc. be left at home so that costumes are not spoiled for guising, should they leave them behind at school.
Thank you very much for your continuing support.
