Education and learning
From early years through primary and secondary education, young people in East Ayrshire enjoy an excellent modern education to the highest standards, with pupils attaining results higher than the national average across all age ranges.
Thanks to a £65 million investment in recent years, made possible by a Public Private Partnership, many of our schools have benefited from extensive rebuild and refurbishment programmes, providing state-of-the-art teaching facilities for a large number of our pupils.
We have nine secondary schools, 43 primary schools, four special schools and 33 nursery establishments. There are also 18 early years providers in the private, voluntary and independent sectors.
East Ayrshire Council, Kilmarnock College and other learning and development agencies are committed to providing choices and maximising opportunities for all to develop their full potential.
