Winter Weather Support
We shared this with our families a couple of weeks ago, however I just wanted to put out a little reminder as this is a great opportunity to support our children and their families during this time of year. Any questions feel free to contact me on tracey.bradford@eastayrshire.org.uk ………..
Due to the rise in fuel bills and the recent cold weather, we at NCPS would like to offer our support to any of our families who might benefit from outdoor clothes, footwear, and anything else to help with keeping warm. If you would like to access this support, or any other support which we might be able to provide please complete the attached form and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Ayrshire Burns Schools Competition 2023
I am delighted to share that this year’s Ayrshire Regional Burns Competition will be held in Belmont Academy, Ayr on Saturday 4th March 2023.
The competition will take place in 5 different disciplines:
- Verse Speaking
- Singing
- Instrumental
- Bagpiping
- Chanter
The same pupil may be entered for one, two or more disciplines,
e.g. Singing and Instrumental.
The competition is open for P1-P7 pupils.
As always, I will be volunteering my time to work with pupils who are keen to enter. This time however, will be limited, therefore pupils will be required to spend time practising at home.
I have very much appreciated the efforts of pupils who have entered these competitions in previous years. We have experienced lots of success in these competitions due to the high standard of talent in our New Cumnock Primary pupils!
If your child wishes to enter the competition, please complete the attached contact form by no later than next Friday 3rd February to allow me to make contact with families and complete the official paperwork that is required in order to enter.
I look forward to working with our talented pupils once again!

Choir visit to the Afternoon Tea Group 25/1/23
Our school choir visited the Afternoon Tea group at the Town Hall yesterday to entertain them with Scots songs to celebrate Burns Day. A huge thank you to Mrs Wilson for her piano accompaniment. Well done everyone! 🌟
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!

Early Level Transition
Today the pre school children came over from the ECC to enjoy discovery time with the current P1 and P1/2 children. The aim of the visit was to allow the children to visit the school building and become familiar with the classrooms. They will visit another twice to allow this aim to be covered and then various other transition opportunities will be planned.
