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.

On Tuesday 21st June 2022, Emily Kirkland and Logan Gemmell, P6 represented the school at East Ayrshire’s Clean, Green Education awards at Council Chambers, Kilmarnock.

Logan and Emily were delighted to receive the Bronze Award on behalf of Ochiltree Primary School. They have accepted the challenge of going for the Silver Award next year!

Pupils should wear older clothes tomorrow as they will be taking part in gardening activities. Fingers crossed for dry weather.

Our new P1s starting in August 2022 thoroughly enjoyed their lunch experience in school today, along with their parents. The children met our dinner ladies Mrs Charles and Mrs Nimmo.
