PE Timetable and Information
PE Timetable for session 2026/27
Please check our timetable for your child’s days for PE.
All pupils should have shorts and trainers for inside PE, and it would be great if they could bring a kit bag that can stay in their cloakroom for the term.
Please ensure all PE items are labelled.
We have a limited supply of spare PE kit available so it’s great if pupils can bring in their own kit.
A reminder that, in line with EAC’s guidelines, jewellery is not permitted during PE.
Earrings should preferably be removed on PE days before coming to school. If this is not possible, they can be taped over or pupils can bring tape/plasters to cover them. Removal or taping of earrings is the responsibility of parents/carers or the child if they are able to do this independently.
It would also be helpful if long hair is tied back on PE days.
Our pupils love their PE sessions in our large gym hall and we look forward to seeing them all participating soon.

Staffing Changes
Catrine ECC – changes to staffing
Our Depute Manager, Alana Speirs, has been given the amazing opportunity of being Head of Centre at Darvel ECC from August to October 2026.
We are so upset that she’s leaving us for a wee while even though we’re pleased for her in her new role. We’ll let you know the new management details in August 2026 for the children returning. Alana leaves us with the ECC being wonderfully organised and ready for the new term. We wish her all the luck in the world and look forward to welcoming her back!
