Families Learning Together 3
School Values Consultation
As a school we recently consulted on what our community think our core values should be. Our core values are the fundamental beliefs of our school and are the guiding principles that dictate our behaviours.
Please take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire which will help us determine our school values.
The questionnaire will close on 13th March 2020.
School Photographs Reminder

Parent/ Carer Ethos Survey
Each session West Lothian issue a parent ethos survey for families to complete about your child’s school. The findings of this questionnaire, along with our school evaluations, help us to plan future improvements.

Dalguise 2020
Some of our Primary 7 recently went on a residential to Dalguise.
We were so lucky with the weather and there was amazing scenery.
The first night we played Splash. We had to first of all complete tasks to earn points and the points enabled us to buy materials to make a protective container for our water balloon.
We all really enjoyed the food! There were lots of different choices so we all found something we liked and we really enjoyed the cooked breakfasts! Mrs Bonner can we have a cooked breakfast at breakfast club?
The final night we joined with other school and had a disco together in the Dome. Some children said it was like a concert!
The instructors at Dalguise all commented on our good listening skills and our have a go attitude.
Mrs Thom’s Retiral
Dear parent/ carer,
I am writing to inform you of the news that Mrs Thom, our school administrative assistant has decided to retire at Easter. The decision hasn’t come lightly to her but she feels that this is the right time for her to leave education, to spend more time with her family and grandson. Her post will be advertised via My Job Scotland and I will keep you informed of the progress.
Mrs Thom has worked at PUSCPS for 10 years, and prior to that was a Pupil Support Worker at Williamston Primary School and other locations across West Lothian. I think you will join with me in agreeing that Mrs Thom is one of the friendliest and helpful school secretaries there is! No job is ever too big for her, she approaches everything with a smile, she keeps us organised and she nurtures us all. She will be a great loss to our school community.
I would personally like to thank her for all her advice, time, support and hugs since starting PUSCPS, we have had a great partnership and friendship together with many laughs along the way. She has supported me with doing things the PUSCPS way, whilst also embracing change.
Kind regards,
Miss Burton
