P7 Leaver's Ceremony
The Leavers’ Ceremony will begin today at 1:15pm, and we expect it to finish at approximately 2:50pm. If you have younger children in the school, please make alternative arrangements for them to be collected, as this will help avoid any confusion during the event.
Our guest of honour this afternoon will be Mrs Swan, and we look forward to welcoming her as we celebrate our leavers.

Arrangements for tomorrow
As we reach the end of this academic year, I would like to thank all pupils, families, staff and our local community for your support in making this another successful year.
I would also like to wish our Primary 7 pupils luck as they make the transition to secondary school and I hope to hear good things about you all. The pupils will be piped out tomorrow at 2:35pm. All pupils will wave the P7s off in the main playground and when the P7s leave, parents can collect from there. All parents should stand on the grass area by the nursery and the outdoor classroom and Mrs Carter and myself will be there to guide you. If possible, can we kindly request that P7 parents are given priority for the grass area. It will be extremely busy with parents tomorrow so if possible do not block parking areas outside of the school gates.
Our pupils will walk to church tomorrow morning for our end of term Service and this will be led by P5 and all families are welcome to join us.
Families are seated upstairs in the church. As requested by the church, could I remind parents that there should be no food or drinks brought into the church at all and please do not lean over the balcony.
We hope to arrive at church at approx. 9:15am.
As we head into our summer holidays, I would like to wish you all a safe summer break and look forward to seeing you all return. I am looking forward to greeting our new Primary One and nursery pupils in August too.
So on behalf of all staff here at Newington Primary School, have a lovely summer break.

Head Lice
Headlice- This is an on-going issue and we would ask parents to keep checking their children's hair regularly and contacting local chemists to get treatments if appropriate.
We will only be able to resolve this fully in school if all families support this request.
I have added the NHS website link below.

Riding of the Marches 2026
On Tuesday 23rd June, teams from across the Annan Cluster primary schools took part in the Riding of the Marches School Quiz, which we were proud to host here at Newington Primary School. Our team — Alexa, Aiden, Coen and Euan — performed brilliantly across all eight rounds and secured first place with an outstanding effort.
We would like to extend our thanks to Neil Carruthers for hosting the quiz and to Sybelle Reay for organising the event. We are also grateful to Mary Herbert’s granddaughter, who kindly presented the shield in her honour.
It was a fantastic afternoon of teamwork, knowledge and community spirit, and we are incredibly proud of our pupils’ achievement.

Singing Competition
Two of our talented pupils at Newington Primary School, Cadha and Elise, travelled to Gourock on Saturday 13th June to take part in the Music Festival. Both girls represented our school with confidence, enthusiasm, and a real love for performing.
Elise impressed the judges with her beautiful singing and was awarded an Excellence Certificate in recognition of her outstanding performance. Cadha also shone on the day, earning 3rd place in her category—a remarkable achievement at such a competitive event.
We are incredibly proud of both pupils for their hard work, dedication, and courage in performing on a larger stage. Their success is a testament not only to their talent but also to the support and encouragement they have received along the way.
Our heartfelt thanks go to Mrs Carter and Mrs Lewis for their time, guidance, and expert coaching in preparing the children for the festival. Their commitment has helped nurture confidence and musical skill in our young performers.
It was a wonderful day of achievement, and we couldn’t be prouder of Cadha and Elise for representing Newington Primary School so brilliantly.

Weather
Dear Parents/ Carers,
With temperatures set to stay very high, we’re introducing a relaxed uniform for Wed–Fri this week. Children can wear cool, comfortable clothing such as shorts and t‑shirts. To keep everyone safe, please avoid vest tops, thin‑strap dresses, football shirts, and very short shorts. Please make sure your child has sun cream applied before school, a sun hat, and a water bottle to stay hydrated. We appreciate your support during the hot weather.
Mrs Ferguson
Headteacher
