Ayrshire Schools Burns Competition 2026
I am delighted to share that this year’s Ayrshire Regional Burns Competition will be held in Belmont Academy, Ayr on Saturday 28th February 2026.Â
The competition will take place in 5 different disciplines:
- Verse Speaking
- Singing
- Instrumental
- Bagpiping
- Chanter
The same pupil may be entered for one, two or more disciplines,
e.g. Singing and Instrumental.
The verse speaking and singing category is open to P1-7 pupils, the other 3 remain available to P4-7 pupils. Please note P1-3 Singing is a new category this year.
As always, I will be volunteering my time to work with pupils who are keen to enter. This time however, will be limited, therefore pupils will be required to also spend time practising at home.
I have very much appreciated the efforts of pupils who have entered these competitions in previous years. We have experienced lots of success in these competitions due to the high standard of talent in our New Cumnock Primary pupils!
If your child wishes to enter the competition, please complete the form below by no later than Monday 26th January to allow me to make contact with families and complete the official paperwork that is required in order to enter.

JRSO Competition
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!
