Nursery Start Dates

It was lovely to meet so many of our August intake of nursery children at our Induction Evening, home visits and stay and plays. At this time you will have discussed with the nursery staff when your children is starting.

If you missed these events, or were offered a nursery place for August at the end of June/July we are holding an information session on Tuesday 20th August at 3pm. This will give you an opportunity to visit the nursery and find out a bit more information.

If your child is starting after August we will be in touch with you before their third birthday.

You can find more information here:

Nursery Induction Evening

We look forward to welcoming you all to our PUSCPS family.

NHS Lothian Asthma Advice

Advice from NHS Lothian:

Each year we see an increase in asthma attacks in children when they return to school which often result in admission to hospital. Check out our top tips to try and avoid this happening.

Remember, asthma attacks are serious and you need to get help day or night if your child is not responding to their blue inhaler.

Dress Down Day Dates

Please find below the provisional dates for our dress down days for Primary 1-7.

Like last year, the dress down days do not always fall on the last Friday of every month or the last day of each term. Instead the dates reflect events that are happening in school.

If your child would like to take part in the fundraising dress down days we would ask that they please bring a donation. We will also be running house competitions to see which house can raise the most money.

Thank you in advance for supporting these charities and helping with raising money for school funds.
