Best Start Foods – update
Changes to Best Start Foods
From 26 February 2024, Best Start Foods entitlement is changing.
Previously if you claimed certain benefits you also had to be below a certain income level to qualify. This is changing from 26 February as no income limits will then apply for those in receipt of Tax Credits or Universal Credit. Working Tax Credit will now also be a qualifying benefit for Best Start Foods.
If you previously did not qualify due to the income limit on Tax Credit and Universal Credit but met all other entitlement criteria, you could now apply again.
There are also some changes for young parents that extend entitlement.

Message from Mr Currie
Dear Parent/Carer
I would like to notify you of my intention to retire from East Ayrshire Council after nearly 26 years and plan to finish on the 29th March 2024 when the school breaks for the Easter holidays, I will continue in post as usual until that time. The sole purpose of this letter is to make you aware of my decision and I will send out further notifications when it becomes clearer as to how the authority intends to fill my post going forward.
Please be assured that this is purely a personal decision I have taken after a great deal of thought and I appreciate this may be very unexpected. Should you have any questions or concerns at this time please contact the school and I would be happy to discuss with you.
Yours faithfully
Donald Currie
