Dates for the Diary


Please take a couple of minutes to complete the sports survey for your child at Catrine Primary School
Catrine PS is proud to be a School Streets area and to keep our pupils safe we have parking restrictions in place around our school streets at both drop-off and pick-up times.
Between 8.45-9.15am and 2.45-3.15pm the streets around our school should be free from all traffic, apart from residents, to ensure our pupils and wider school community can enter and leave our school safely.
We would appreciate your ongoing support in this matter.
Well done to this week’s winners for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.

Thank you to those who have completed and returned all the consent forms that are required at the start of a new school year.
There are a few pupils who have forms still to be returned.
Please return the annual data check and walk permission as soon as possible, and complete the link below for the photographic and computer consent. Thanks
Our Christmas outing for the whole school this year will be to the Pantomime ‘Sleeping Beauty’ at the Galleon in Kilmarnock.
Please complete the form link below and let us know if your child would be going. Thanks.
Date for your Diary – Tuesday 16th September
Please join us for our Numeracy Morning at Catrine Primary School.
The event runs from 9.15am – 10.30am. The doors will open at 9.00am.
Everyone Welcome.
Rag Bag Collection Date – 16th September
Bags can be dropped off at the school on Monday 15th September.

PE Times
Every week each class is timetabled for two PE sessions. Sometimes, if the weather permits, one of these sessions may be a walk around the village instead of indoor PE.
For indoor PE sessions, our pupils need to have a pair of shorts and a pair of trainers/gym shoes, that they can keep in school so that they’re always prepared for PE sessions. Please ensure all items are labelled with your child’s name.
Pupils also need to remove all jewellery before taking part in PE so please ensure earrings are removed, or that your child can remove their own earrings on PE days. It’s also preferable if long hair is tied back.
Thanks for your support with ensuring our pupils make the most of their timetabled PE sessions at school.

What a great first day back at school we had today, in the lovely sunshine too!
Well done to our P2 to P7 pupils – they settled into their new classes so quickly and got straight to work.
Our new Primary 1 pupils had an excellent start to their time in primary school – we are so proud of them all and look forward to welcoming them back tomorrow at 9.30am.
We’ve got a brilliant year ahead at Catrine PS 🙂
Mrs Govans
Just a wee reminder for our new P1 starts on Wednesday 20th August.
We will open the doors at 9.30am at the infant playground. Can we ask that only parents enter the playground with their child please?
A photo opportunity will be available for all pupils.
For pupils taking a school dinner, they will be asked over the next three days what they would like to eat.
The ParentPay system will generate a code for you to sign in and hopefully will be available by the end of the day on Friday.
On Wednesday, the school day will finish at 2.30pm for P1. Please enter the playground to collect your child.
Any questions please contact the school and we look forward to your child starting in Primary 1. Thank you.
The 2025/2026 online consent forms are ready for completing.
Please take 5 minutes to fill these in for your child.
Thank you

Congratulations to Emily in P2 who was the winner of our annual Catrine’s Got Talent competition.

Emily serenaded us all with a beautiful rendition of Count on Me by Bruno Mars.
The judges; Mrs Watt, Ellie, Caleb C and Daryl H, had such a hard time choosing the winner because the talent on display from all the entrants was absolutely amazing! We had dancers, gymnasts, footballers, artists and singers. Well done to all the children who entered and a HUGE thank you to the Primary 7s who organised it all.
