Team Jimmy have  experienced a lot of success over the last couple of years in the competitions that they have entered. To recognise the achievements of our young people we have established our Wall of Fame display. This success has been due to our high quality PE, with opportunities to attend an afterschool club and experience competitive events. However,  what we are most proud of is the sportsmanship that our pupils display win, lose or draw. This is something we actively promote here at JHPS at all times #goteamjimmy

The Sports Committee have decided that pupils should be recognised for their efforts in PE and have come up with the idea of creating a certificate that will be awarded at assembly once a month by the Committee.  This can awarded to pupils for demonstrating good leadership, skills, effort and attitude. The display is up and we shall announce our first winner of this prestigious award at the end of the month 🌟

At JHPS we recognise the achievements of pupil achievements both in and out of school. If you are a proud parent/carer and your child has had success in sport and would like your child to be displayed on our Wider School Achievement notice board then you can send a pic and blurb to Mr Shaw at david.shaw@eastayrshire.org.uk

Primary 4-7 have been enjoying an extra block of football over the session as part of increasing pupils physical activity during school, whilst Primary 1-3 have been enjoying healthy walks and Zumba. This has proved very popular with pupils and a creative way of making the most of assembly time. ⚽️💃🕺

Unfortunately, our Girls Football Team have been knocked out the Ayrshire Cup by a very strong Kingcase Primary.  We wish them all the best in the next round. The girls will dust themselves off and get ready for the East Ayrshire Cup which is scheduled for May 9th at the Ayrshire College.

Our Primary 5s have just finished a 6 week block of swimming learning an essential life skill. The pupils have had a great time and this  something we hope they will continue to develop.

A huge congratulations to our P7 Netball Team who came first place in the Netball Festival at the Ayrshire College. Special thanks to our two S6 Sports Leaders who provided an after school club for them to practice and coached them at the event on the day. The team played 6 matches drawing 3 and winning 3. What was so impressive is that they didn’t even concede a point in any match! #goteamjimmy 🙌🥇

Congratulations to our boys Football Team who have progressed to the Quarter Finals of the Ayrshire Cup with another hard fought 3-2 victory against Stanley Primary from Ardrossan. They will be playing away in the next round to either Struthers or Troon –  ‘mon the Jimmy.’

Our P1-3 classes had a smashing session today provided by Senjokai Karate. We are keen to continue to build pathways to local clubs. Senjokai will be back again in May to work with our P4-7s. If you are interested in your child joining the club then see attached photo for further info or contact the school. 🥋
