At Newmilns Primary School and Early Childhood Centre we wish to create a happy, safe and fair environment where behaviour for learning allows all pupils to fulfil their potential. We believe that this will be best achieved where staff, families and pupils work together with a common purpose.
We are an inclusive school that holds positive relationships at our heart. Just like learning to read, write or count all children are leaning to behave in socially appropriate ways and just like learning to read, write or count different children learn how to behave at different stages, and it worth remember that there are many factors which can impact on this progress.
Our school values underpin our work in respect of positive relationships and behaviour.
Our golden thread of kindness joins our values together and supports our positive relationship approaches across the School and Early Childhood Centre.

Here at Newmilns Primary School and Early Childhood Centre we love to celebrate the success of all of our children! This includes achievements both in and out of school!
In the school children can earn stars for good work, showing effort, manners and positive behaviour choices. For every 40 stars children receive they will receive a certificate to take home – Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Sapphire. Each child also receives 100 points for their house for each certificate they achieve.
Children can also be receive a certificate for displaying attributes of our core values of Cooperation, Determination, Hope and Ambition, Friendship, Honesty and Respect. One hundred house points are also awarded for receipt of these certificates.
Children showing particular effort and success with a task in class will be rewarded with a Purple Pen Award. Children will receive a sticker, 100 house points.
The winning house are awarded a treat in the summer term.
We also celebrate wider achievements, for example swimming certificates, football medals or success in wider school activities eg Burns Competition or Dance Fest.
Children in the ECC celebrate their achievements from home too. Parents and Carers can share achievements through Learner Journal.
