Parent Focus Group – Attendance

November 28, 2024 Mrs McNulty Leave a comment

As part of our continued School Improvement, we are focusing on school attendance – the benefits of good attendance for our learners, the barriers they may face and how we can work together to support our families and improve this.

In order to do this, we are seeking the involvement of our parents/carers. If you would be keen to be part of this Focus Group to explore, improve and promote this area of school improvement, please complete the Form below and Mrs McNulty will be in touch with you soon to arrange a meeting.

Pantomime Trip 28/11/24

November 27, 2024 Mrs McNulty Leave a comment

We are so excited for our whole school Pantomime Trip to the Gaiety Theatre in Ayr tomorrow to see Mother Goose!

We are very grateful to the New Cumnock Development Trust for their kind donation of £3000 towards the cost of this trip from a recent funding application from our Parent Council! This helped to subsidise a great deal of the cost of this trip, alleviating the financial pressure of our families at this time of year.

Be Bright, Be Seen!

November 22, 2024 Mrs McNulty Leave a comment

Today we promoted, ‘Be Bright, Be Seen’ with a dress down day wearing bright colours.

We want to encourage all pupils to wear something bright on their journeys to school. Bright, fluorescent and especially reflective clothing is so important when the days become darker.

A huge thank you for all your chocolate donations in aid of this Dress Down Day. These will go towards creating tasty hampers which will be raffled off at our Christmas Fayre next weekend!

P4-7 Extra Time Club

November 20, 2024 Mrs McNulty Leave a comment

We have some spaces available for our Extra Time club which is run by Active Schools from 3-5pm on a Monday.

Chidlren get a snack provided and take part in lots of fun activities with the Active Schools team!

It is available for P4-7 children up until the Christmas holidays.

If you wish your child to have a space, please ring the school on the alternative number shared on the app, and let the office staff know if they will be collected at 5pm or are to walk home themselves.

It is important we keep our numbers high for this club, to enable Active Schools to secure funding to continue to run it in the New Year.
