RSHP Parent Workshop 22/4/24
Parents/carers,
Prior to the holiday, we shared with you via the app and school blog that in Term 4, we will be delivering Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenting (RSHP), as part of our Health and Wellbeing curriculum, across all stages of the school.
In line with East Ayrshire guidance, we contacted you to inform you of this.
The programme of study is generated in accordance with National guidelines. The contents of which, form a key element of personal, social and health education in our school and is an important part of children’s preparations for adult life.
Parental guidance letters can be found on the original post or within the Curriculum – Health and Wellbeing – RSHP tab on our school blog.
I write to invite you attend a Parent Workshop session where we can discuss the content of this curricular area at each stage and share with you the resources our staff will be using to support its delivery.
This will be held on Monday 22nd April 4-5pm.
I hope you can make it. Should you be unable to attend and would like to meet to discuss at another point, please contact me via email to let me know. danielle.mcnulty@eastayrshire.org.uk
Kind regards,
Mrs McNulty

RSHP Parent Steering Group
Members of our parent body have raised concerns about the content of Relationships Sexual Health and Parenting (RSHP) lessons and have already highlighted their intention to extract their children from this area of the curriculum.
As part of our School Improvement Plan, Mrs McNulty is therefore looking to create a Parent Group to develop knowledge and understanding, as well as confidence, within our parents and carers, to ensure effective delivery and outcomes of RSHP here at New Cumnock Primary.
Is this something you feel strongly about or feel you have little knowledge of? Do you have time to join us to share your thoughts or questions?
Please complete the Form below and Mrs McNulty will contact all parents who have registered, to arrange a meeting in the near future.
PE kits
A reminder of class PE days can be found in the ‘Important Information’ section above.
PE kit must be brought in to school on these days. (This can be left in school bags or hanging on pegs in a kit bag).
Shorts and suitable indoor shoes are required. No football strips allowed. Older children may find it more comfortable having a change of top to change in to too.
It would be helpful if jewellery was removed and long hair tied back on these days too.
Failure to have the correct kit, will mean your child cannot participate in PE.
If you require support with this, please contact the school.
Kilmarnock FC
Please see below for information about Football training opportunities for our young people with Kilmarnock FC.
Breakfast Club 2023/24
We are absolutely delighted to inform our families that our Breakfast Club will be starting again from Monday 28th August!

Breakfast Club will start at 8.15am and children are to enter via the door to the back of the gym hall (at the rear of the school car park). At 8.45am, children will be released into the school playground before coming into school with their classmates, all energised for the day ahead!
Places are limited so registration is necessary in order for your child to be added to the register. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. You will receive confirmation of your child’s place via phone call, so please ensure you provide us with a contact number. Please complete the contact form below to request a place for your child.
