Would you believe it’s the Summer Holiday’s already!!?!?
We have plenty coming up for the young people in our community and it’s all FREE!
See attached our flyers and below the registration links.  Pre registration is essential!  Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate people who “turn up on the day” without having completed the pre-registration forms.  So, if you your child is undecided at this point then please still register them and that way they can still attend!

Happy Retirement Reverend Cuthbert!

We are very sad to see Ms Cuthbert leave us here in New Cumnock after so many years of service to not only our local Parish Church but to our school and our local community.

We have many fond memories of our time with Ms Cuthbert and have compiled them in a book for her from the pupils of New Cumnock Primary. We will deliver this to Ms Cuthbert with a gift from us all at New Cumnock Primary when it is safe to do so.

We also wanted to share a video from the pupils, who will always think of Rev. Cuthbert every time we hear this song as it is one of her favourites!

We wish Helen all the very best in her retirement and the future. Please keep in touch with us!

School Garden Progress – Thank you Shire Housing, NCDT and New Cumnock Community Garden Group!

Our DEN group have been working hard on their Community Partnership this session. We have worked closely with the New Cumnock Development Trust to bring about a positive change in our local community and represent ourselves as positive role models within our community, setting the same example to our peers.

We were kindly gifted £500 from Shire Housing and have used the money to buy outdoor paint which we have used to spruce up our school planter located in the New Cumnock Community Garden and to make our playground Friendship Stop bright, colourful and attractive to the pupils in our school. We have received so many compliments on it already. It really stands out in our playground and the fact that it looks so nice is making boys and girls want to visit it.

We have also used some of the money to purchase plants from the Netherthird Community Garden Group (supporting another local business). We are working closely with the New Cumnock Gardening Group who are volunteering to support us in developing our school garden. They gave us their expertise to help us pick plants which would be best for our school garden. We have spent a few days now working on our garden, making sure the soil is weed free, prepped and cultivated ready for planting. We can’t wait to show you all the finished result!

A huge thank you to each of the volunteers from the New Cumnock Community Garden Group, Alan from Shire Housing and Tammy from the New Cumnock Development Trust for your help and support with this project!
