In April Active Schools make the move from EAC Vibrant Communities over to East Ayrshire Leisure Trust.

Most will remain the same but some things will change, one of which is how we promote and sign up for holiday programs starting this Easter.

We will be doing this sign up via the EAL app. New app  details below.

These classes are recommended for age 4 plus

Our Primary 6 pupils were so excited to meet their ECC buddies this afternoon!

They had a wonderful time getting to know to each other and are very much looking forward to being role models and helping our August P1 pupils settle into their new school.

This is the start of an extensive transition programme, keep checking the blog to follow our transition journey.
