P7 Residential Trip- Lockerbie Manor

Thank you to all our parents who were able to come along on Wednesday evening to our Residential Information Session.  I hope everyone found it useful and are excited about our P7 adventure!

For those who were unable to make it, I have attached the PowerPoint that was shown on Wednesday to this post.  All P7 pupils have been shown this PowerPoint and should be able to talk their adults through it.

All P7’s have also received a letter today outlining details of the trip.  If you have any questions or would like further information, please contact Mrs Clarke at the school.

The Parent Pay link has gone LIVE today.  the link is for the MAXIMUM COST, but only £50 is needed as a non-refundable deposit to secure a spot on the residential.  Deposits must be paid by WEDNESDAY 14th SEPTEMBER.  If you have any questions around this please contact the school.

We are hoping to keep the cost as low as possible, but as I’m sure you will understand, we are obligated to tell you what the maximum cost is in case we cannot secure additional funding.

We are all looking forward to this amazing trip to make memories that will last a lifetime!

S1 Transition Biscuit and a Blether

Calling all new S1’s that transitioned from New Cumnock Primary School!

As promised, Mrs Clarke and Mrs Bradford are hosting a “Biscuit and a Blether” session to check-in with our most recent cohort of S1’s!

FRIDAY 2ND SEPTEMBER 2022 @ 3.05PM,  ENTER VIA COMMUNITY ENTRANCE!

This is an opportunity for new S1 pupils to check in with primary staff they trust, whilst they are still building relationships with staff at the Robert Burns Academy, and have a chat about their new school, subjects, friends, or any  worries they have.

This is not compulsory for pupils, but we would love to see you!

Primary 7 Residential 2023

We are delighted to inform our Primary 7 pupils as well as their parents and carers that we have secured a booking for a Primary 7 Residential this session.

Our P7’s will enjoy 3 days (2 nights) at LOCKERBIE MANOR in Dumfries and Galloway!  The venue offers amazing facilities and activities including:

  • kayaking
  • paddle boarding
  • archery
  • fencing
  • zip wire
  • cycling
  • climbing wall

And so much more!

The provisional dates we have secured are Wednesday 19th April- Friday 21st April.

We plan to fundraise to keep the costs as low as possible for parents, and the school will make a contribution to the cost as well.  There will however be a cost involved for parents, which will be finalised in the coming days.  A non-refundable deposit of £50 per pupil will be required to secure a place, payable by Monday 14th September.

We would like to invite all P7 parents who are interested in learning more about the upcoming residential to an information evening at the school on Wednesday 7th September at 6pm where we can offer you a presentation, a breakdown of costs and answer any questions you may have.
