Ayrshire Roads Alliance  are proposing to undertake road resurfacing works on Fourfields, Catrine.

A Road closure will be required to undertake the resurfacing works safely and efficiently and will be implemented between 8am and 5pm daily, with no on road parking permitted.

These works are scheduled to commence on Mon 16th October to coincide with the school holiday and will continue for approximately 1 week.

Hopefully our works will be complete prior to Mon 23rd In Service day, however if we experience any delays during our works then we may still be working on the 23rd, but it is certainly our target to have all works complete before the school resumes on Tuesday 24th Oct.

Well done to this week’s winners for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.

Just a reminder that we will be having our Harvest Service on Wednesday 11th October at 9.15am.

All welcome to join us.

In the afternoon the pupils will be taking part in their sponsored activity ‘Harvest Hush In’.  If you would like to sponsor your child to  be quiet, please do so via parentpay.
