Our Facilities Management Assistant and School Crossing Patroller, Mr Renton, has retired today after 8 years at Ochiltree Primary.
Mr Renton started his working life as a miner and then spent 25 years driving lorries. He joined East Ayrshire Council working as a Janitor in different schools before coming to Ochiltree.
Famous for his tuneful singing around the school and his love of football, Mr Renton is looking forward to doing things in his garden at home and “not having to get up early on dark mornings.”
The children presented him with their memory books.
