Ayrshire Burns Schools Competition 2023

I am delighted to share that this year’s Ayrshire Regional Burns Competition will be held in Belmont Academy, Ayr on Saturday 4th March 2023. 

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 competition is open for P1-P7 pupils.

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 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 attached contact form by no later than next Friday 3rd February to allow me to make contact with families and complete the official paperwork that is required in order to enter.

I look forward to working with our talented pupils once again!

Mrs McNulty
