The first try out is on Monday 20th June, then those who are successful will be invited for a second trial on Thursday 23rd June.
If any of our P7’s are interested in joining, click the survey link here. The MONDAY time of 4pm-5pm will not be applicable to us as we are at Craufurdland Estate, so we are in negotiations to work in a different time. Please still fill in the survey link and we will sort out the timings.
Dear parent / carer
I am pleased to share with you the link to our P7 Information Video. As we are currently unable to welcome large groups of parents to the school for a face-to-face information evening, we decided to record a video that you can view with your child instead. This video should answer many of the questions you may have about the final stages of our transition programme.
The video can be viewed by clicking the link below:
Or through our school blog’s P7 Transition section:
https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/ea/therobertburnsacademy/p7-transition/
We would also like to invite you to an online drop-in session on Wednesday 25th May from 6.30-7.30pm. There will be no presentation or content shared during this session, this is an opportunity for parents and carers to ask any questions they may have. I would encourage you to watch the information video and look at the content on the P7 Transition page of our school blog in the first instance.
You can join us for the online session via the following link:

A huge thank you to our parent council for donating out P7 Leaver’s Hoodies!
We are so excited to wear them around our school and to our transition events at Robert Burns Academy!
Thank you for your generosity!
The Cumnock Chronicle are running a pull-out of P7 leavers and they are looking for East Ayrshire schools south of Kilmarnock to submit individual pictures of pupils who are finishing up for inclusion in the paper.
They are looking for individual photos of pupils to be sent across to ayrshireschools@newsquest.co.uk along with the pupils name and school they are leaving.
Transition Information for Parents (CLICK HERE)
Please find attached above an information booklet for parents/carers of children who will be starting Primary 1 in August.
If you require any additional information which has not been covered in the booklet, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will do our utmost to support.
I am currently working on a child friendly information book which can be read with your child and explains the routine of the Primary 1 day. This will be available in the next few days.
Thank you
Mrs Johnstone
