Back to School!

Good Afternoon,

Not long now everyone!  Myself and all the staff can’t wait to see you on Thursday morning!  I hope you have all had a well earned rest with your families.

Please see below new entrance and exit points for you to make yourself familiar with.  There will be an adult at each of these points to help you if needed.

New P1’s start at the later time of 9.30am and finish at 12.30pm on Thursday only.  Could you please enter the gate identified above instead of the community entrance, as identified in earlier correspondence.  P1’s can then gather with parents in the back playground before class teachers lead them into their classes.

Should you wish to speak to a member of staff before Thursday, the school will be open for our in-service day on Wednesday 17th August.

See you soon,

Mrs McMurdo

Good afternoon

I am delighted to inform you that we had two very positive, and productive, induction days for our new S1 pupils last week. As a year group they have made a good first impression on our staff and we are looking forward to welcoming them back officially as pupils of The Robert Burns Academy in August.

Over the summer you will receive a letter confirming your child’s Principal Teacher of Guidance and their PLP and practical class details. On their first day of school, I have asked all S1 pupils to make their way to Barony Hall, where they will be met by their senior guides and organised into their class groupings. Our staff will be stationed at the entrances to the building and at various points across the walkway to the school to assist anyone who needs help.

Please remember that there is information on our school blog that may be of interest to you.

I wish you all a safe and relaxing summer.

Primary 1 – 6 Prize Giving Presentations

We are delighted to have been able to get back to some sort of normality this week and invite a small number of parents into the school to celebrate successes with our children.  Although it was only a small percentage of children who could be presented with an award, EVERY single pupil, in our school, shine in their own way and we are proud of every one of them.

Primary 1 – Primary 3 Prize Giving

Primary 4 – Primary 6 Prize Giving

Primary 7  will be showcased in due course – their special Prize Giving day is tomorrow!
