PUPS will be closed on Friday 16th and Monday 19th 2018 to coincide with the North Ayrshire School Holidays.

Have a nice long weekend and see you all again on Tuesday 20th November!

Our Committee Meeting was held this week. Details of items discussed and copies of the accounts are available from PUPS staff.

PUPS will be closed during the school October holidays and will re-open on Monday 22nd October. Have a lovely time and see you all again soon!

PUPS will be closed during the Monday 24th September school holiday. We look forward to seeing you all again on Tuesday 25th September.

Increase to Fees

At the recent AGM a decision was taken to make a small increase to fees. From May 2018, the fees will be as follows:

Breakfast Club – £5.25 per morning (25p increase)

After School – 2hrs £9 and 3hrs £10 (50p increase)

Soft Shoes

We have access to the school gym hall when available. However, due to health and safety reasons, we can only allow children to play in the gym hall if they have soft shoes in their bag to change into.

Access To Campus

From week beginning 23rd April, a member of staff will be at the Largs Academy main door, on most occasions, from 4.45pm until 5.30pm. If you arrive at the door and cannot gain access, then please call PUPS mobile on 07792095505 .

Change to cancellations – 1st – 16th May only

From 1st May until 16th May only, cancellations should be made direct to PUPS mobile (number above). Staff check the phone daily for messages.

Presentations

Irene Gilmour set up PUPS twenty years ago with the help of a small committee of parents. During that time, Irene has worked voluntarily as Treasurer/Secretary and has really been the mainstay of the committee. Without Irene’s insight and dedication we would not have had an Out of School facility in Largs. Irene has now decided that it is time to give up her role entirely and will step down at the end of June.

Jane Monaghan has run Breakfast Club for 18 years and worked after school for a time also. Jane has now left PUPS in order to work in Early Years.

We think it would be appropriate to give both Irene and Jane a gift in appreciation of their dedication.

If you would like to contribute, then please do so by making a donation in an envelope marked ‘Gift for Irene and Jane’, handing this in by 18th May please. We are planning a celebration meal to mark the 20th anniversary around the end of May and any if you would like to attend then please let a member of staff know.

Thank you in anticipation of your continued support,
