It is expected that children wear school uniform on PE days and change at school, small PE bags can be kept on pegs with shoes and shorts.
If children have pierced ears, the safest thing to do is to remove earrings before coming to school. If you wish your child to cover them, this must be done at home. Mrs Paton, or other school staff will not do this, nor can we provide tape or plasters for this purpose. If earrings are being covered, you must sign the appropriate consent for this for this school session. This can be obtained from the office.
There are times PE days may have to change, we will do our best to up date you prior to this but this is not always possible.
School Holidays
The links below will take you to a copy of the school holidays for the school year shown.
School lunches
All information regarding school lunches, nursery and P1-7, including menus and allergens can be found at the link below.
All children now receive free school meals, if your child is in P1-7 all lunches must be ordered via Parent Pay accounts at home, this saves wasting valuable teaching time in the morning.
Inclusion
The Scottish Government Policy on Presumption of Mainstreaming enshrines the right of all children and young people with additional support needs to learn in mainstream schools and early learning and childcare settings.
To this end, mainstream schools across East Ayrshire and beyond support the inclusion of children with a range of additional support needs.
The information sheet below gives you a little more detail about this.
Spotlight on Composite Classes
