Breakfast Club
We are absolutely delighted to inform our families that we will be starting a Breakfast Club at school on Monday 30th January!
Children are invited along to school to not only receive a nutritious breakfast, but they can socialise with their friends and take part in a range of activities before the start of the school day.
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.
We are delighted to be able to offer this wonderful facility to our families free of charge, thanks to a Community Fund Grant awarded to us from the New Cumnock Development Trust. Thank you so much!
School Poetry Competition 2023
Please note that the date for our school poetry competition will be Wednesday 1st February 1.30-3pm.
Your child may already have their class poem sent home. We would appreciate your support in helping them to practise this.
3 finalists from each class will be selected prior to this, and parents/carers will be notified, to ensure that enough time is given to make arrangements in order to attend.
The school app has been updated accordingly.

RespectMe Parent Survey
As you are all aware, we began our RespectMe journey during Anti-Bullying Week. We would appreciate your time in filling out our questionnaire as this will give us an indication of opinions and perceptions of what bullying is and the implications it may have. This will give us a starting point in our journey and will allow us to measure change.
Parent’s Evening success!
We were delighted to welcome our families back into school this week to visit their child’s classroom at Parent’s Evening.
We hope hope you enjoyed the opportunity to see your child’s work and meet their teacher.
A huge thank you to our outside agencies such as Childsmile, Active Schools, EA Young Carers and our Parent Council for showing their support by also coming along to meet our families and discuss their roles in supporting our children.

Bring a Parent to School Day Success!
Over the past several weeks we have been delighted to welcome our families back into school to visit our classrooms and have our pupils discuss their learning in Literacy and Numeracy with you.
We have been overwhelmed at how many of our families have been able to join us and we hope that you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!
Please keep an eye out for Parent Literacy and Numeracy packs which will be sent home with ‘oldest and only’ children, ensuring you have 1 per family. You will find useful information about our delivery of these subjects, some of the terminology explained and some examples of activities you can try at home with your child.
We are looking forward to many more opportunities to welcome you into school over this session. Don’t forget to check out our Parental Involvement calendar to note down the many opportunities we have to welcome you in to school this year.
