Almost time to fill out census |
|
|
From the end of February, households will begin to receive a letter with instructions on how to complete their census online once the census completion website goes live on 28 February. What is the census?Scotland’s Census is the official count of every person and household in the country. It usually takes place every 10 years. and asks questions about people’s age, sex, home and living situation, employment, education and qualifications, as well as ethnicity. Completing the census is important because the answers provide the Scottish Government, and many other service providers with the data they need to make important decisions that affect people’s lives and their communities. When is Census Day?Census Day is Sunday 20 March, but you will be able to complete your census online from 28 February. However the answers must reflect your household on Sunday 20 March. How do I fill in the census?Online from 28 February:1. Visit www.census.gov.scot (census completion form not yet live)2. Click START3. Enter the unique Internet Access Code from the letter you received4. Follow the on-screen instructions Paper copy:If you need to request a paper copy, or if you need a new Internet Access Code, go to census.gov.scot or phone the helpline on 0800 030 8308. Do I have to complete it?Yes. Every household in Scotland has a legal responsibility to complete a census questionnaire. This is vital to ensure that the census provides detailed and accurate information about theentire nation. The person who either lives, owns, rents the property or pays the household bills is responsible for completing the census. If you live in a care home, halls of residence or hostel, and are over the age of 16, you will need to complete an individual census as well as taking part in the communal establishment questionnaire. What if I need help?A contact centre will be open from 28 February and is free to call from any landline or mobile phone on 0800 030 8308. You can also get in touch via the webchat on census.gov.scot

Dear Parent/Carer
As you will know, your child is due to transfer from primary to secondary education at the beginning of the new school session (August 2022). Please complete the online P7 transfer application at http://eastayrshi.re/p7transfer no later than Wednesday 26 January 2022.
Your secondary school will already be in communication with your child via primary school to provide information and hand books are available at: www.eac.eu/secondaryschoolhandbooks.
We very much hope that visits and events may be possible later in the year to allow you and your child to visit their new school.
Happy New Year to all of our families. We are looking forward to welcoming the children back tomorrow.
We hope that you have had a happy and healthy festive preiod and are ready to work hard in the new term.
We have a number of updates which we would like to highlight:
We would appreciate your help with the following as both our clerical staff are absent unwell and we will have limited capacity to cover the office during the school day.
Due to what has been delivered to the kitchen please note that some changes to choices have been necessary. These are:
Roadworks – There will be road works starting on Victoria Bridge beginning on the 10th of January for an initial 8 weeks. This may impact the roads around the school and the ease of travel from Queens drive through the traffic lights passing the Wellbeck chip shop and on the road crossing near that. We would encourage you to walk to school or park and stride (park a few streets away and walk in to the school) where possible to avoid congestion around the school.
Further to this we will be asking the children from P5, 6 and 7 to enter and exit the school grounds carefully from the pedestrian gate on Loanhead Street as of Monday 10th January. Please speak with your senior school children about safely using the pavement next to the school car park when making their way out of school. This will not be a change for P7 but will be for P5 & 6. P3 & 4 children will now exit the main gate on Dick Road and P1 & 2 will exit the gate next to the PEACE building as normal. This will potentially reduce the number of parents waiting on Dick Road and therefore allow for more space between adults and allowing the children to stay on the pavement. Please note this will start on the 10th January when we have been back to school and spoken to the children about this.
We are returning with 9 staff across the whole establishment (in a variety of roles) who are unwell and absent from work. This may impact the teacher/support your child will have, however we are currently in a very fortunate position of being able to cover all classes from the ECC through to P7 either with a familiar teacher or Early Years Practitioner as appropriate.
Please be reassured that I will continue with our contigency plans to ensure the children and staff are able to attend school with appropriate mitigations, risk assements and cleaning all in place for the safety and health of all.
Thank you all for your continued support.
Amanda Milne
Head Teacher
