Pupils from Grange Academy scooped over 20 awards at the Scottish Mathematical Council’s Maths Challenge Prizegiving at Glasgow University recently.

After an evening of inspirational ideas and professional business pitches, two teams have been selected to represent East Ayrshire at the Sir Tom Hunter Challenge grand final to be held on Wednesday 13 June.

It was a successful day for East Ayrshire at the Scottish Education Awards when Grange Academy’s resident Math geek, Chris Smith lifted the prestigious Teacher of the Year award and Park School was a finalist for the Employability and Creativity across Learning award.

The annual Junior Road Safety Officer awards took place recently at Ayr Town Hall and it was the perfect opportunity for the Ayrshire Roads Alliance’s Road Safety Team to congratulate all the JRSO’s and their co-ordinators.

As part of their ongoing programme to improve the condition of the road network, the Ayrshire Roads Alliance will be carrying out essential road resurfacing works on three sections of the A713 carriageway between Dalmellington and Ayr.

This essential work will be carried out in July and August during the school holidays.
