The ovens at our catering facility are currently out of service, so from Monday 16th February until further notice, menus offered to pupils will be amended to the selections listed below.
Our catering manager will request that ParentPay be updated to reflect only the available options, but should you come to make your child’s lunch bookings and the hot options and baked potatoes are still listed (except for Thursday), please do not select these as they will not be provided.
Please make your bookings for soup and sandwiches and second choices via ParentPay as usual to ensure the catering team have the correct numbers for lunches. Any alternative diets / allergies will be catered for.
We apologies for any inconvenience this may cause, but please contact the school on 01290 700351 if you have any queries.
Thank you

Dear Parents / Carers,
Due to the success of the Home Economics Taster Session held in The Robert Burns Academy in October, the department will be running another event on Tuesday 10th March where P7 pupils will get the chance to cook alongside one of their parents/carers.
Please find an information flyer below with all the details included.
There are two sessions available and places will be allocated on a first come first served basis – due to Health & Safety restrictions there are only 30 places available at each session.
Parents/carers can sign up by e-mailing the school mailbox, eaRobertBurns.Ac@eastayrshire.org.uk, and office staff will reply issuing a ticket which must be brought along on the day (screenshot of ticket is fine if unable to print) to gain access to the event.
Thank you
If a parent notices they have lost an item at the school gates this afternoon, please call the school office for more information.

Dear Parents / Carers,
To celebrate Burns Day, on Friday 23rd January 2026 the catering team are laying on an additional Burns Day menu, as below.
The usual week 3 Friday menu is available, but if you wish your child to have the alternative Burns Day selection, please place your order via ParentPay.
Thank you
We have discovered that the phone line for the school is down.
We have reported this to IT as a matter of urgency.
If you need to get in touch with the school, please pop in or contact the school on eaOchiltree.PS@eastayrshire.org.uk.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Dear Parent/Carers,
We have noted that some of our pupils are taking whole grapes into the school as a play-time snack or for lunch.
Following on from our advice regarding Halloween sweets and the choking hazard that small spherical food items can pose, we would encourage parents to half or quarter grapes sent into school.
Given that pupils could be running around over break time whole grapes can be incredibly dangerous.
Thank you for your assistance

Lovely to see our pupils return after the festive break and we welcome Maxine Gorman to the school today as Depute Head Teacher.
With new diaries and new calendars being started for 2026, we thought a reminder of the planned activities, as we know them thus far, would be useful.

Activities, as they become known, will be added to the online calendars (app and blog) throughout the coming months, but please feel free to contact the school office should you have any queries.
