Choir at Ayr Hospital

Our Choir did a fantastic performance today at Ayr Hospital.  They performed all their songs, including one in German, to a large audience in the foyer.  Members of staff at the hospital said that our choir was easily the best this year.  Well done choir.

P1-7 Welcome to our 1st Open Afternoon on 14th September

We will be holding regular Open Afternoons in school where you are invited to come in and see what your children have been learning.  You will also have the opportunity to informally meet the teachers and other staff and see around the school.

The dates for the year are:

  • Thursday 14th September
  • Tuesday 21st November
  • Wednesday 28th February
  • Monday 14th May

Classes will be open from 1.30 – 3.00 and you can drop in and out so that you can visit multiple classes if you have more than one child.

NB These afternoons are for P1-7 only.  The ECC has its own Stay & Play weeks which you can find out about from ECC staff.

Childhood Flu Vaccination Programme for 2017-18

Please be advised that there is a Childhood Flu Vaccination Programme for 2017-18 which will be implemented in the coming months.  An extract of letter received by EAC providing initial information on the Childhood Flu Vaccination Programme for 2017-18 can be seen below:

Childhood Flu Vaccination Programme 2017-18

Thank you very much for contributing to the successful childhood flu vaccination programme by supporting the work of the NHS to offer vaccination to all primary school children. Vaccine uptake rates confirm that the third year of the programme has been extremely successful with around 73% of primary school children vaccinated last year (increase of 1.2% in 2016/17). These high uptake rates confirm that the programme is now a well-established part of the routine childhood vaccination programme. This would not have been possible without the support of you and your staff.

This year’s programme will be the same as previously, i.e. children aged 2-5 years and not yet in school will be vaccinated at their GP, and primary school children will be vaccinated at school. We have agreed a management target for uptake rates of 75% for all primary school children. This reflects the huge success of the programme in schools and is an achievable target.

We continue to learn lessons based on feedback from Health Boards and schools to identify ways to improve delivery for all involved. We are working with Health Protection Scotland, representatives from the NHS Boards and from primary schools to ensure that the materials being delivered for use in the school are even clearer and more inclusive, enabling you to use them with even greater confidence. We are aware that holding the vaccination sessions in schools can be logistically challenging. NHS Health Board teams will work very closely with you to minimise any disruption to your schools and to assist with smooth delivery of sessions.

Once again thank you for your help in enabling us to provide this important protection to children in Scotland. We value your support and the part you play in helping to achieve a high uptake of the childhood flu vaccination.

Yours faithfully

A Letter from Police Scotland

Dear Sir/Madam,

Vulnerable Road Users Campaign: 19 to 25 June 2017

As head of Police Scotland’s Road Policing Division I seek your support ahead of our national Vulnerable Road Users Campaign.

As the summer break approaches, and excitement grows, I fully appreciate the challenge of capturing the attention of children and young people whose focus may already be drifting towards their chosen holiday destination.

While, understandably, road safety may not be at the forefront of everyone’s mind, it features most prominently in mine.

In 2016, 12 children died on Scotland’s roads with a further 167 serious injured. Given your role, and the daily contact you have with children, I’m sure you can imagine the devastation such incidents cause.

As the weather improves and children and young people venture out on foot and bike to enjoy it, I seek your help in pushing the road safety message. I would encourage your students, pupils and staff alike to take responsibility for their own safety and to be mindful of the hazards walking and cycling on the roads present.

I should reassure you this request forms only a small part of our campaign strategy and I will be urging other road users and motorists to share our road space respectfully and responsibly too. Between Monday 19th and Sunday 25th June, my officers will be out engaging with the public to both educate and, where necessary, enforce, to positively influence attitudes and road user behaviour.  You can find out more about what we’re up to on Facebook and Twitter using the hash tag #GoSafeRoadSafe.

With your help, we can reduce the number of children and young people affected by road collisions. A Scotland where no children are seriously hurt or killed on the roads is my ambition.  It isn’t out of reach; help me make it a reality.

If you wish to know more about how best to deliver the road safety message, www.roadsafetyscotland.org.uk and www.cyclingscotland.org are excellent sources of information and resource.

Yours faithfully

Andy Edmonston

Chief Superintendent
