We are delighted, at New Cumnock Primary School, to be officially presented with our Communication Friendly Schools status.
Hayley from the Speech and Language Team came to our school Get Together to present our plaque to members of our Communication Friendly Schools Pupil Leadership Team.
Jorja and Paige were delighted to accept it on behalf of the school. We have worked hard as a school over the past 2 years to achieve this status and we are so proud.
Tonight our school choir sang at Cumnock Hospital for the Ayrshire Hospice.
What a truly amazing place the Hospice is, with exceptional staff!
We felt so privileged to sing for all the patients and staff tonight to spread Christmas cheer.
We are participating in ‘No Pens Day’ on Wednesday 29th November to raise awareness of the importance of communication skills in our school.
This national day is set to help improve children and young people’s communication skills through a day of talking and listening activities – starting with the biggest ever show and tell!
Why is your child’s school taking part in No Pens Day 2023: Show and tell?
• Teachers estimate that, in the UK today, 1.9 million children struggle with talking and understanding words. Without the right support, they face huge hurdles in learning, making friends and staying in good mental health.
• It’s a chance for your child to improve their speech, language and communication skills through a day of talking and listening activities – starting with the biggest ever show and tell!
Show and tell focus – MY HOBBY – please encourage your child to bring an object to help them share about their hobby with the class. This could be – a pair of dancing shoes, a karate belt, a colouring book, a reading book…. please do not send anything of extreme value and no need for lots of items – only 1 item to help them share their hobby with their friends.
We will also be encouraging British Sign Language practise throughout the day too as a way of communicating.
We are not asking for money directly but if any parent would like to support this charity, all money raised will go to Speech and Language UK – a charity that supports children who struggle with talking and understanding words.

Dear Parent/Carer,
After the summer break, New Cumnock Primary School will be participating in the Trailblazers trial – a joint Ayrshire project looking to improve road safety and increase active and sustainable travel to school. Ahead of the trial launching, a short survey has been prepared to understand current travel behaviours and attitudes around active and sustainable travel to school. I would be most grateful if you could take a few minutes to share your thoughts via the short survey provided at the following link:
Trailblazers Parent Questionnaire (snapsurveys.com)
The deadline for survey response is the 30th of June.
Thanks in advance for your support.
