Families Connect at NCPS
Families Connect is an evidence based programme developed by Save the Children UK that supports parents/carers to engage in their children’s learning.
New Cumnock Primary School has been chosen to take part in the Scottish Government’s Pilot Study and will be delivering this weekly for 6 weeks with the first session taking place on Thursday 12th May.
Families will receive excellent resources which they will be able to keep in order to connect and communicate with their child at home.
The commitment is only 1.4 hours online once a week for 6 weeks. This would be such a valuable opportunity for every family!
For further information or to request a place on the programme please contact:

Uniform Bank FRIDAY 29th outside MAIN OFFICE
Are your children growing out of their uniform? Don’t want to waste money buying new uniform so late in the school year? Why not visit the UNIFORM BANK this Friday (29th April) outside the MAIN OFFICE from 2.30pm onwards!
The Clean Green Schools Award team have been thinking of ways to recycle, reduce and reuse throughout the school. One of the ways they have decided to do this is through the development of a school uniform bank.
There will be sweatshirts and jackets available in a variety of sizes. Come along and pick up any items FOR FREE!
The uniform bank will be available on the last Friday of each month from now until the Summer break!

World of Work Week – Farming Visits
Our final day of World of Work week was extremely exciting as we welcomed local farmers into our school playground!
A huge thank you to Emma and Stevie Guild, Elaine and Allan Young, and John Murray for a fantastic day enjoyed by all pupils and staff. We are so grateful to learn about the career opportunities in farming and agriculture, as well as how farming hugely benefits our community here in New Cumnock.
Take a look at our video to see our amazing day!
