There is also space at the bottom of the FORM to make general suggestions regarding how we can make our school the best it can be.
Thank you in advance for your on going support,

We were excited to be part of the New Cumnock Coronation Celebration weekend!
Primary 7 pupils Lily P and Noah R were crowned as King and Queen and then paraded around the town on the Friday evening, followed by a Disco performed by our very own DJ Wee Parky.
The Saturday family fun day was a huge success and it was great to see so many people come out to enjoy the community celebrations. Our school choir entertained the crowd by performing some songs they have been rehearsing in preparation for the event.
A huge thank you goes to the Coronation Committee for their kind donation of commemorative medals for every child in the school, what a lovely gesture to mark such a memorable occasion.
As part of our school Coronation celebrations, children came to school wearing red, white and blue. We had a picnic party in the playground in the afternoon, DJ’d by our very own DJ Wee Parky who had been taking song requests all week.
A huge thank you to the Parent Council who funded snacks for all the children to enjoy at the picnic and to Pathhead Bakery for their very kind donation of Coronation cupcakes for all the children to enjoy!
A huge thank you to our Parent Council for hosting a Family Quiz Night in honour of the King’s Coronation. It was a very successful night with lots of fun had by all!

Our Oliver! JR rehearsal times will now be from 3-4.30pm every Monday and Friday.
As we are getting closer to our production date it is important that we get all cast members attending every rehearsal. We appreciate this is a big commitment and we expressed this at the start. We have been blown away by our talented youngsters at our rehearsals this far, we know this is a show you will NOT want to miss!
As part of our Health and Wellbeing delivery, the Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenting topics are delivered to our learners this term. Please find attached parent information letters which detail the curricular outcomes for RSHP, as well as “suggested” vocabulary you may wish to explore with your children prior to commencement of the learning. These are organised by level.
RSHP is an important and valuable aspect of the Health and Wellbeing curriculum for all children and is taught sensitively and age appropriately according to government legislation. However, if you do not wish for your child to receive this input, please contact the school on 01290 338404 before Wednesday 10th May to let staff know.
