P.E. Update

During the Covid19 pandemic the school was not allowed to store P.E. kits from home. This guidance has now changed and your child can leave their P.E. clothes and shoes in a clearly labelled bag in school.

P.E. kits will be sent home every Friday and holiday for washing.

Football strips are not allowed.

*Please ensure all items are clearly labelled.

Thank you.

The Robert Burns Academy

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.
