We respectfully request that children do not bring Pokemon Cards into school.

Regretfully, we have been dealing with increased incidents of disruption and upset amongst pupils across all stages regarding Pokemon Cards.

Please could all parents ensure Pokemon Cards are left at home for the foreseeable future.  Children who do bring Pokemon Cards to school will be asked to put them away in school bags, and are left in school bags at their own risk.

Thank you for your continued support in this matter.

We would appreciate if our current P1 parents could take a minute or two to feedback through this form.  Your support is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Please see below further information about Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood lessons that will be delivered this term.

As a school we are keen to involve the wider school community in the decision making process regarding the running of our school. We are currently planning our School Improvement Plan for next session (2022/2023) and would like your input. Please click on the link below to take you to our GLOW Form.

Tomorrow all our children will be going outside to experience a visit with visiting farm animals in the playground.  Please can we remind all children to bring a jacket as it’s expected to be quite chilly!

Thanks so much and we are looking forward to tomorrow!

VATTENFALL WINDFARM AND R J MCLEOD

Today we were so excited to welcome representatives from Vattenfall Windfarms and RJ McLeod who took time out of their day at South Kyle Windfarm to dial in to talk to our pupils about STEM careers and local opportunities.

Carol Kane from Vattenfall spoke to pupils about what the windfarm does and why it is an important part of our community.  We listened carefully to her presentation which included information about  sustainability and renewables, as well as different career roles available at the windfarm.

Ian Sloan, one of the Project Managers, spoke to pupils about his own time at New Cumnock Primary School (the former Castle Building).  He told pupils about his job on the windfarm and the subjects he enjoyed at school.

Finally, Rosie Gillan from RJ McLeod spoke about opportunities for girls in STEM careers.  She encouraged our girls to take part in science and maths at school, and talked about her job at the windfarm.

We are so excited to take up their offer of a visit to the windfarm in the near future to get real hands on experience at the site!

Thank you to all involved including Tamara Campbell and Christina McKitrick who were integral in setting up this opportunity for our pupils!

Thank you so much to all our pupils and staff who wore blue and yellow today to demonstrate solidarity with Ukraine.  Everyone looked amazing!

There is still time to donate via ParentPay.  A final total will be revealed on Friday 1st April!

Calling all parents of Primary 1 to Primary 3 children.  We would like your feedback on our use of Learning Journals in school.  Click the following link to access the  short questionnaire.  Your views are greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance for your time.
