Unfortunately we can’t complete Rich Tasks like we normally do at NCPS. So this year P6-7 have been chosen as the lucky class to continue with obtaining our Rights Respecting Schools award. They have created their own school logo, new right of the fortnight sheet and new right cards. The video below highlights our new ideas as well as describing the right of the fortnight. We will post a new video every 2 weeks to highlight the new right!

NCPS Christmas Staff Video – Have your say!
As our Lockdown video for ‘Times Like These’ was such a hit, we thought we would entertain all our children and families again with a Christmas edition. However, this time, we are putting YOU in charge!
Click on the song you would like to see the staff of New Cumnock Primary School to perform and the winning one will be performed, recorded and shared with you all on the run up to Christmas.
New Cumnock Primary School are award winners!
We are so proud to share with you that our school have received a number of prestigious awards in recent weeks.
East Ayrshire Inclusive Education (DFS) Silver Award
Mrs Elliott has worked hard to present all the hard work going on in New Cumnock Primary to show that we are an inclusive school and have strategies in place to make us Dyslexia friendly. We are delighted to share that we were awarded the East Ayrshire Inclusive Education (DFS) Silver Award. The panel had a wonderful morning hearing about our inclusive journey. A huge well done to all involved!
Digital Schools Award
In addition to this, Mrs Petrie has been working her socks off to present information to a panel of validators about our digital journey. We are excited to share that with all the evidence Mrs Petrie provided to show that we are using innovative practise, we have been awarded with the Digital Schools Award. They were very impressed to hear the work that our children are doing to support staff and each other to upskill our digital abilities. They were so pleased with our digital journey and leadership shown that we have been recommend to become a mentor school! This is amazing! A huge well done to everyone!
RSPB Wild Challenge Bronze Award
Furthermore, Mrs Johnstone and Primary 1 have been working hard with the Learning Outdoor Support Team (LOST) to investigate ways to care for and experience nature, and a result have been awarded the Wild Challenge Bronze Award. Well done to you all, what an achievement!
How to access class homework…
We have had a few queries recently as to how and where to access your child’s class homework.
As we are minimising the items being passed between school and home, each class will be setting homework tasks weekly through their class blogs.
These can be found in the CLASSES AND STAFF tab on our school blog.
https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/ea/newcumnockprimaryschoolea/
Once you select your child’s class, you must click on the link within that page which will take you directly to your child’s class blog. Once there you must select the HOMEWORK tab. All homework tasks will be posted here for you to refer to. Your child may be asked to submit tasks via email/Teams but will be instructed to do so by their class teacher if this is a requirement.
A quick ‘how to’ guide to access homework can be found in the video below.
If you have any further questions or queries, please notify a member of the Senior Leadership team. Their contact details can be found below.
