Badminton for Beginners

We are pleased to announce that, following the successful badminton sessions held during activity weeks and/or at after-school clubs, we are offering weekly beginner sessions for children who are interested in further developing their skills. The current sessions available are as follows:

· Barony Campus, Cumnock: Thursdays 6.00 – 7.00pm

· Grange Academy, Kilmarnock: Mondays 6.00 – 7.00pm

Additionally, we are exploring the possibility of introducing Friday evening sessions in Cumnock, as several children have indicated they are unavailable on Thursdays. We are also considering running sessions during the school summer holidays to provide further opportunities for participation.

If you would like more information about these sessions or others that we may introduce in the future, please contact Tommy Milgrew:

Sportshall Athletics

Today, P6 and P7 pupils participated in Sportshall Athletics at Robert Burns Academy.

We travelled by public bus, with many of our pupils using their NEC card to gain free travel.

They competed in events such as team relays, vertical jump, triple jump and javelin to name a few.

We are very proud of how well our pupils displayed team work and determination in their events, a huge well done to you all!

A huge thank you to EAC Active Schools for organising the event and well done to Auchinleck PS on winning this heat!
