Parents in the Playground

P1 parents/carers will be permitted into the lower school playground until Friday of this week.

As of Monday of next week, no parents/carers will be allowed in the school playgrounds.

This will help the children to feel safe.

Answer Machine Not Working

We have realised that our telephone answering machine is not registering messages left by parents/carers. It is allowing people to leave messages but they are not coming through on our system.

A call has been logged today with our telephone engineer to hopefully have this resolved as soon as possible.

In the meantime, if your child is absent from school, please make sure you make direct contact with the school office .

Thanks

Pantomime 2025

Sleeping Beauty at the Galleon Leisure Centre, Kilmarnock 

We appreciate it may be far too early for a lot of parents/carers to even think about, but we are beginning to arrange our calendar of events taking place between now and the Christmas break!😯

With this in mind, we are going to be booking this years’ local pantomime – Sleeping Beauty, which is to be held in the Galleon Centre. This will be a whole school outing on Tuesday 2nd December at 10am. The cost of the ticket and transport is £16 per child. The box office need EXACT numbers of tickets no later than Monday 15th September.

In order to give everyone plenty of time to pay for this, we plan to offer an initial deposit of £8 due via Parentpay by Monday 8th September. You will be able to access this from today onwards.

This deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE and secures a ticket for your child. If we do not receive a deposit, we will be unable to purchase a ticket for your child.

There will then be one further final payment of £8 required by Friday 31st October.

If any families are worried about the cost of this please contact the school office as soon as possible. 

If your child does not wish to attend the Pantomime please let us know by Monday 8th September by contacting the school office.

Summer Holidays

The school closes tomorrow at 1pm for the  summer break. 

Taxi children will be collected at 12.30pm.

We hope everyone has a wonderful time over the holidays and look forward to welcoming all our pupils back  on Wednesday 20th August.
