It’s that time of year when children will be making journeys to school and back in the dark. When the evenings are darker, visibility is greatly reduced for everyone which makes pedestrians and cyclists even more vulnerable than usual so help us promote:
‘Be safe Be seen day’ on the 22nd November.
We want to encourage all pupils to wear something bright on their journeys to school. Remember we are looking for as bright as they want, fluorescent and especially reflective clothing is so important when the days become darker.
We hope you have fun helping us promote this important road safety message and please let us know what great ideas you come up with and if sharing on your socials be sure to tag us #ayrshireroads.

Do you have any Christmas Jumpers/party clothes which are too small for your child/children? If you do, we would be very grateful if you could hand them into the school.
Thank you.
There will be non-attendance of school crossing patrol in place on Mieklewood Road, today 12/11 and tomorrow 13/11.
Due to the reduction in cost per child for the Pantomime from £15 to £12, we are working our way through individual refunds of £3.
Once you have paid £12, please ignore any outstanding balance showing regarding this on your Parentpay account as we are having issues amending it .
Thanks
