PE Timetable 26-27<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.<\/span><\/p>\n 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.<\/span><\/p>\n 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.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n School Holidays<\/strong><\/p>\n The links below will take you to a copy of the school holidays for the school year shown.<\/p>\n School Holidays<\/a><\/p>\n School lunches<\/p>\n All information regarding school lunches, nursery and P1-7, including menus and allergens can be found at the link below.<\/p>\n School Lunch Portal<\/a><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Inclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n To this end, mainstream schools across East Ayrshire and beyond support the inclusion of children with a range of additional support needs.<\/p>\n The information sheet below gives you a little more detail about this.<\/p>\n Inclusion at Newmilns Primary<\/a><\/p>\n Spotlight on Composite Classes<\/strong><\/p>\n All schools, regardless of size, sometimes operate with composite classes.\u00a0 Being a smaller school makes this more likely.\u00a0 The guide below explains a bit more about composite classes!<\/p>\n Spotlight on Composite Classes<\/a><\/p>\n Attendance<\/strong><\/p>\n The newsletter below, summarises the importance of good attendance at school.\u00a0 It is a priority and expectation the children have excellent attendance at school.\u00a0 Our aim is for everyone to have an attendance rate of above 95%.<\/p>\n Attendance Newsletter<\/a><\/p>\n Exchange Counselling Service\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The links below give more information on the Exchange Counselling service which children in East Ayrshire can benefit from if needed.\u00a0 If you would like further information please contact the Exchange directly or speak with Mrs Young.<\/p>\n\n
