This Friday 31st October we will host our Halloween Fun Day in school. Children are encouraged to come to school dressed in their fancy dress on this day.
Children will take part in lots of fun activities in their classes throughout the day, as well as have the chance to visit the Halloween Fun Room hosted by our Parent Council.
As a fundraising effort, this room costs £1 to enter and when inside chidlren have the chance to try out the touchy feely boxes for an additional 50p.
As we approach Christmas 2025, here at New Cumnock Primary School, we are aware that it can be a difficult time for some of our families. If you feel you would benefit from extra support in the form of vouchers, gifts for the children or food parcels please complete the form in the link below and we will add your name to our family database.
Information is strictly confidential and in such times as we are provided with the above support, you will be contacted as a matter of priority to receive this help.
Kind Regards

We took part in a whole school competition to design a poster on travelling safely and sustainably to school. We aim to encourage as many people to walk, cycle or scoot to school.
There were lots of fantastic competition entries and our JRSOs chose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd and even made up their own prize hamper for the winner, what a lovely touch!
The winning entry will be entered in to the Sustrans competition and if we win, our school will receive a banner of the poster to display at our gates!
Well done to our winning entries!
3rd place: Piper M P2/3
2nd place: Alice M P4/5
1st place: Lexi B P5
To celebrate the end of term being almost here, on Thursday, we will be hosting a whole school TERRIFIC Thursday Get Together, where we will be recognising the Wider Achievements of our pupils . (This is usually known as FAB Friday but as we are at the Church for our Harvest service on Friday, we have moved it to a different day this week.)
We want to hear about your child’s successes! On Thursday, please bring in your certificates, medals or stories about your achievements from this past term.
To help with the programming of the afternoon, please complete the form below by Wednesday evening to let us know what your child wishes to celebrate. We will use the names gathered on the Form to create the running order.

2 of our P7 Clean Green Team members, Peighton and Summer, were excited to attend the Climate Conference today at Loudoun Academy today. We had a great day networking with lots of partnership agencies who can help us on our journey to Gold status. We are looking forward to using all our inspiration from this event to help us generate our 25/26 Action Plan. 💚♻️ #EANetZero
Our Period Ambassadors were hard at work today stocking up our products available for free in toilets across the school. These can be found in toilets and cubicles identified on the door with our group logo.
