Ongoing disputes between teachers unions and the Scottish Government continue to see schools across Ayrshire close due to industrial action.
Schools in East and South Ayrshire will shut their doors for one day next week as teaching staff walkout in disputes over pay.
Teachers from two of Scotland’s 32 local authorities will be going on strike each day until February 6, if a deal has not been agreed by then.
In East Ayrshire, all primary and secondary schools will close on Monday, January 23.
Early Childhood Centres will remain open as normal.
‘Grab and go’ lunches will be available for collection from schools between 10am and 1pm on the day of the strike.
East Ayrshire schools will return to normal on Tuesday, January 24.
In South Ayrshire, all primary, secondary and ASN schools will be closed to pupils on Wednesday, January 25.
Any families with children that normally receive a free school meal will be able to collect a packed lunch from their nearest primary school between 12noon and 1.30pm on Wednesday afternoon.
Five of South Ayrshire Council’s Early Years Centres will not be affected by the industrial action and will operate as normal.
These are; Cherry Tree Early Years Centre, Girvan Early Years Centre, Prestwick North Early Years Centre, Space Place Early Years Centre and Wallacetown Early Years Centre.
All South Ayrshire Council schools will return to operating as normal on Thursday, January 26.
