VISITORS TO SCHOOL

In current circumstances we are doing all we can to protect the health and safety of our children and staff.  Can we ask that you only come in to school office if absolutely necessary.  Telephone the school office 01290 550306 if urgent.  If you get the answer machine please be assured your message is picked up and dealt with.  To help everyone, please ensure your child leaves home with everything they need.  Thank you for your co-operation and understanding during this time.

Internet Safety & Safer Schools App

We are keen to support parents to ensure all young people are Cyber safe, especially with the growing use of a wide range of Apps and online forms of communication (WhatsApp/TikTok/Instagram/Snapchat etc).  As part of our continued commitment, we are delighted to promote our new ‘Safer Schools’ App.  This App is a reliable source of advice on all things Cyber.  It gives empowering, current and informative information on all current digital platforms/tools/apps in an accessible manner. We have a range of tailored user accesses (pupil, staff and parents/carers).  To access your parent platform please:

-Go to your app store or Google Play and search for ‘Safer School’

-In school field type ‘East Ayrshire Council’

-The code for primary parents is: 7440

We would recommend that you discuss with your child about which apps and social media platforms they currently use/access. This will help ensure they know how to stay safe online – using the app to start these types of conversations is great.
