Clean Green School Awards 2023

Today, Bruce and Orla travelled in style on the McGill’s electric bus to attend the East Ayrshire Clean Green Schools Awards at Council Chambers in Kilmarnock.

In their Captain and Vice Captain role, Bruce and Orla have helped to tackle our Clean Green Schools action plan to help East Ayrshire to work towards a Clean and Green future!


Through the 4 key themes of Waste, Energy, Transport and Natural Environment, our team have worked hard this year to make positive changes to reduce our carbon emissions.

We are delighted to share that we were one of 4 schools in the authority to receive a Silver Award!

Our Clean Green Schools Team are so proud of this achievement and already have ideas in place for next years action plan!

Earth Day 2023

With Earth Day this Saturday 22nd April, our Clean Green Schools Group would like to mark the occasion on Friday 21st April.
They would like everyone to wear blue and green that day. There is no charge for this.
We will also be hosting a community litterpick that day at various spots throughout New Cumnock, so please ensure your child has appropriate outdoor clothing and footwear for this. A huge thank you to our Parent Helpers who have volunteered to support us with this event.

New Cumnock Primary School would like to extend our sincerest thanks to Sharon Dowey MSP for her recognition of our pupil’s hard work achieving our Bronze Clean Green Schools award with special recognition for Energy, our Climate Champion East Ayrshire Youth award and our 5th Green Flag award!

We received a copy of the Motion which was read out in the Scottish Parliament!
