We are delighted to offer our P5 to P7 pupils a Badminton afterschool club starting on Thursday 17th September, and will run on 24th Sept, 1st Oct and 8th Oct. The class will be from 3.00pm till 3.50pm.
The class will be taken by Tommy Milgrew of Ayrshire Badminton Club.
If you wish your child to attend please complete the form. Please note that there is a minimum and maximum number of children required to run this event.
Your child will be given a QR code for the Catrine PS GLOW page and their class GLOW blog page.
These are being handed out over the next few days.
They are an ideal size to put on the fridge door for easy access to the GLOW pages. Every Friday teachers put up a post highlighting what their class has been focusing on that week, including great photos of our pupils hard at work.
Make sure to take the time to try out our QR codes.
Just a reminder that Catrine Primary School operates a School Streets restriction that closes roads around the school to non-resident traffic during drop-off and pick-up times to protect children.
Restriction Times (Monday – Friday) : Morning: 8:45 AM – 9:15 AM & Afternoon: 2:45 PM – 3:15 PM
Key Rules & Details
Traffic Ban: Cars and vans cannot enter the streets around the school during the restricted hours.
Exceptions: Rules do not apply to local residents, permit holders, or blue badge holders.
Goals: The project aims to reduce traffic congestion at the school gate, lower pollution, and encourage walking or cycling.
We appreciate that parents/carers follow the School Streets programme, and in some cases you may have to bring your car to the school. If this is the case please be mindful and respect home owners that live in Fourfields and James Taylor Avenue, and DO NOT park across their driveways.
We were delighted to welcome our P1 parents into school this afternoon. Our P1 pupils were super excited to show off their new classroom and demonstrate how well they have settled into school.
We asked our Big Question “How effective was our transition programme ?” Here are the responses:
My son seems to be settling in well and is enjoying school.
Really good experience. Buddy system is good as it made her feel more confident to come to the school. More open days would be good.
Buddy system is excellent.
Transition days from nursery to primary one were very good. They were frequent enough that ‘big school’ was often talked about at home and looked forward to.
Really good transition program. Really helped my son familiarise himself with school and made starting in August a lot easier.
It really helped build confidence and look forward to starting school.
School visits really helped my son getting used to coming and kind of knowing what to expect.
I felt the transition process was really beneficial and the regular visits helped my children become familiar with the school. I found the info session and info packs really helpful too.
Buddy system is amazing. Gives them support and someone to turn to.
My son loved all his transition visits and spoke about his buddy often.
