We are delighted to let you know that we raised the sum of £408 at the Virtual MacMillan Coffee Morning!  Thank you everyone.

We have been asked to pass the following information from Stewarton Academy on to you.

Dear Parent/Carer

As you will know, your child is due to transfer from primary to secondary education at the beginning of the new school session (August 2022).

Please complete the online P7 transfer application at http://eastayrshi.re/p7transfer no later than Wednesday 26 January 2022.

Your secondary school will already be in communication with your child via primary school to provide information and hand books are available at: www.eac.eu/secondaryschoolhandbooks.

We very much hope that visits and events may be possible later in the year to allow you and your child to visit their new school.

Many thanks.

We are super excited to share our Nativity with you.

Please find below the link. We kindly ask that you do not share this. The Nativity will be available to watch until the week after Christmas and then it will be deleted from YouTube. It is a private link so only people with the link will be able to access it.

We hope you enjoy it!

We are delighted to share that we have made a donation of £1000 to Cash for Kids.  This money was raised by you during our Cash for Kids School Challenge.  This will help make a difference to young people’s lives this Christmas. A big thank you to everyone!

As part of our Rights Respecting Schools work, every class has worked together to create a Class Charter. Each Charter shares the agreement made on shared values and relationships for a Rights Respecting classroom which is based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

The Class Charters are very creative and we are delighted to share a video of them below.

What better way to celebrate the countdown to Christmas than giving back to the local community! 

Nether Robertland will be running a Reverse Advent Calendar between 1st December – 17th December. The Rights Respecting Schools’ group came up with a general theme for each week and suggested items that can be donated each day as shown in the calendar. All donations will be given to East Ayrshire Foodbank. If you can donate anything, please send these in with your child to be collected in class. Please do not donate any perishable items. Thank you for all your support.
