On behalf of all the pupils and staff here at Dalrymple Primary School and Early Childhood Centre I would like to warmly welcome you and your child/children to our school community. Within Dalrymple Primary School and Early Childhood Centre our aim is simple – to provide the very best educational experience for your child in an environment which is calm, caring, engaging and motivating.  We believe this will provide them with the foundation for the best possible opportunities in life.  This cannot be accomplished by ourselves alone. Strong and effective partnerships are key to the success of the school and the pupils within it.  With this in mind we look forward to working with you and your child, in partnership, along this next stage in their journey.

Schools need to be the heartbeat of each community and as such contribute to the strength, safety and vibrancy that we should come to expect from living in East Ayrshire.  Like any positive relationship Dalrymple PS & ECC and the wider community need each other.  We seek to establish a welcoming, proud and confident school which makes the best possible use of the resources, people and places around us.  So please, watch out for any community events and come along and join in.  You will always be welcome here.

‘The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.’
