Next Session – Update
Dear Parents/Carers,
After successful interviews last week, we are now able to share the class structure and teachers for next session.
We have been able to keep the year groups together and follow the structures from this year, with the exception of next year’s P6 pupils.
The class structure will be as follows:
P1/2 Mrs Kane
P3/4 Mrs Meek and Mrs Tweedly
P5/6 Mrs Rooney and Newly Qualified Teacher ( still to be announced)
P6/7 Mrs Agnew
We have split the new P6’s in accordance with East Ayrshire’s guidance on composite classes and will share this with parents individually . Please be assured that our monitoring of planning teaching and learning procedures will ensure that all P6 pupils continue to work at the appropriate level and have the same opportunities. A range of activities will also take place that bring the year group together and children will be able to socialise in the playground.
We are looking forward to our new session and welcoming our new probationer and Mrs Agnew to the school . We will also be seeking a new DHT for next session as Mrs Lockie retires at the summer.
We would also like to take this time to thank Mrs Phillips, Mr Holland and Mrs Lockie for their hard work and commitment to Ochiltree Primary School and wish them well in their future endeavours.
Regards
Mrs D. MacColl
