Rights Respecting Schools Update!

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.
