We are a Trailblazing School!

The Trailblazers initiative developed by Ayrshire Roads Alliance has arrived in New Cumnock. Around the village you will see lampposts with signs that say 5 or 10. This indicates either a 5 or 10 minute walk to the school from that point.
We are encouraging anyone who doesn’t fully walk/ cycle or scoot to school (where possible) to park and stride from these points.
You can use a phone to scan the QR codes on these signs daily to answer road safety questions.
What’s the purpose? We want to encourage as many people to actively travel to school! This has lots benefits for health and well-being as well as for our planet.
Each day we will carry out a quick survey and record anyone who has actively travelled the whole way or from the designated points around the village. It would be very much appreciated if you can support this initiative as much as you possibly can!

New Cumnock Coronation Weekend Fun May 2023

We were excited to be part of the New Cumnock Coronation Celebration weekend!

Primary 7 pupils Lily P and Noah R were crowned as King and Queen and then paraded around the town on the Friday evening, followed by a Disco performed by our very own DJ Wee Parky.

The Saturday family fun day was a huge success and it was great to see so many people come out to enjoy the community celebrations. Our school choir entertained the crowd by performing some songs they have been rehearsing in preparation for the event.

A huge thank you goes to the Coronation Committee for their kind donation of commemorative medals for every child in the school, what a lovely gesture to mark such a memorable occasion.

New Cumnock Coronation Celebrations!

This week we will be celebrating the upcoming Coronation of King Charles III . We would love for you to be part of it!

On Friday 5th May, children are invited to come to school wearing red, blue and white. Each class will be participating in activities about the Coronation and in the afternoon we will all join together in the playground for a Coronation Celebration party. Our very own DJ Parky will be entertaining everyone. Children are invited to give Lyle their song requests beforehand and bring along picnic blankets to enjoy some snacks and a dance.

Thursday 4th May-Monday 8th May – Please see the programme and poster below for events taking place in New Cumnock to celebrate the Coronation.

We wish our very own Noah R and Lily P all the very best for their appearance as King and Queen as part of these celebrations during Friday’s parade!

Our school choir will also be performing on Saturday afternoon at the Family Fun Day. Members have been lettered about this and must return their consent slips as soon as possible. We hope you can come along and show your support!
