We would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete this survey about your child’s transition from nursery into Primary 1, as well as their first week at Primary School.

A reminder that, in line with East Ayrshire’s guidelines, jewellery is not permitted during PE. Earrings should preferably be removed. If this is not possible, they can be taped over, or pupils can bring tape to cover them. Removal or taping of earrings is the responsibility of parents/carers or the child if they are able to do this themselves.
It would also be helpful if long hair is tied back and loose clothing is secured for PE.
Pupils can either come dressed for PE, wear their kit underneath their clothing or leave their PE kit in school to change into when needed.
