Unfortunately an increase in traffic around school at drop off and pick up times does not follow the School Streets plan.
This is just a reminder for parents and carers, when the restricted times are:
Drop off times – 8.30am till 9.30am. Pick up times 2.30pm till 3.30pm.
Please follow the School Streets plan, to allow for safer roads around our School and ECC.
Thank you for keeping our children safe .
Catrine Primary School is a Nut-Free school.
The school aims to protect children who have allergies to nuts.
We do not allow nuts or nut products in school. We ask that you ensure your child’s lunch box or playtime treat do not contain Nuts.
Thank you
We’ve enjoyed a wonderful first day of Term 1 at Catrine PS. Our Primary 2 to Primary 7 pupils settled quickly into their new classes. A warm welcome to Miss Norman, our P3/4 teacher.
We all enjoyed being together again in the dinnerhall at lunch time and it was a pleasure to see our pupils all looking so smart in their uniforms (please remember to label your child’s jumpers and jackets as we have items in the Lost Property Box already!)
As for our new Primary 1 pupils – they were all wee superstars! They have worked their socks off today for Mrs Cook and Mrs Ferguson – well done to them all. P1 pupils in from 9.30am to 2.30pm on Friday, then from 9.00-3.00pm from Monday 22nd August.
At the end of the school day can parents/carers of Primary 1 and Primary 2 pupils step forward to the gate to collect their child as we don’t like letting pupils cross the road. Thanks for your support with this.
Looking forward to a busy, creative and enjoyable first term.
Mrs Govans
All staff are really looking forward to welcoming our pupils back to Catrine Primary School.

Events happening in East Ayrshire over the summer months,
Here is a list of various things happening within the leisure centres through the summer for the children,
Our Whiteflat pupils enjoyed a brilliant House Reward Party at the Games Hall this afternoon. Accompanied by Mrs Ferguson, Mrs Watt, Mrs Goudie and Miss Brown our pupils had fun on the bouncy castle, inflatable slide, earth ball, football station and arts and craft activities.
Whiteflat achieved the most house points this session due to their lovely manners, hard working attitudes, helpfulness and kindness and the best lines. Well done to Captain Sophie for leading such a great team!
Special thanks to the Games Hall Crew – Tommy, Karen and Leeanne – for making our winners party such a success!

Due to the horrible weather, today’s Sports Day is CANCELLED.
We’re now having our school Sports Day on Monday 20th June at 10.30am at Riverside Park. Fingers crossed for a dry day!!
Thanks, Mrs Govans
We are still planning to go ahead with our Sports Day tomorrow at 10.30am at Riverside Park. However, the weather forecast is looking a bit dodgy so a final decision will be made TOMORROW AT 9.00AM. We will notify you via GLOW and APP if we are going for it or having to cancel our Sports Day due to wet weather.
If we have to cancel our Sports Day tomorrow, our reserve day is Monday 20th June at 10.30am at Riverside Park.
Fingers crossed for a dry day – we’re all organised but can’t control the weather!
Huge thanks to Talbot superstar, and former Catrine PS pupil, Craig McCracken for visiting the school and ECC today with the Scottish Junior Cup. Our pupils were delighted to pose for photos with the impressive silverware and had loads of questions for Craig.
Auchinleck lassies Mrs Ferguson and Mrs Watt were first in to get their hands on the trophy!
Thanks again, Craig – and well done on another victory!!
What a fantastic day we have had celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee!
We had our very own live band playing this morning while we were busy decorating placemats. A big thank you to members of the Sanquhar Silver band and friends for keeping us entertained. The ECC joined us in marching round the playground to show off our majestic crowns and to give some very royal waves. We then finished by standing and listening to the band play the National Anthem.
Our street party lunch was so much fun! We showed off our dance moves and ate delicious party food. A big thank you to our Catering Team once again for making our lunch so special.
Throughout the day the children took part in different activities. Make sure you have look on the class blogs to see what they got up to. We have just loved being able to mix classes again and see our older pupils supporting the younger ones.
A big thank you to all the staff who have worked hard to make the school look special and for organising such a fantastic day!
Have a great holiday weekend.
Mrs Schendel
