Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
At our Pumphie Pals session this morning we used How Good is our School to create key questions to help us reflect on our year. We then used this time to answer the questions reflecting on what went well and how we could be even better.
This information will be collated along with our staff and parent/ carers views to help form our priorities for next session.
Dear parent/ carer,
Calder House Party
As Calder was the House Winner last term, we have organised a ‘Pyjama Party’ for the children in Calder on Friday 13th April. If your child is in Calder they can bring pyjamas/ onesie (please no football pyjamas) to school on Friday to change into for the party.
Kind regards,
Jessica and Katie
House and Vice Captain
As Golden Time is an important part of our school ethos, the House and Vice Captains decided they would like to consult with the whole school on what is working and what might need changed. We used our Pumphie Pals time today to explore what it might look like in the New Year. Our House and Vice Captains will now meet to collate this information.
Our P7 Young Leaders had the opportunity to stand for House Captain this session. They made videos for all pupils to see and then there was a vote from all the pupils in each house. We are proud to introduce our House and Vice Captains for this session.

Our first Pumphie Pals groups of the year this morning started well with a new group of P7 Young Leaders responsible for planning and delivering the session. Today the pupils are talking about our expectations. What makes a good PUSCPS pupil? See our short video below, and some photos.

This morning we enjoyed our last Pumphie Pals of the session. In our mixed groups of children from P1-P7 we thought about what we wanted our new teacher to know, what we were excited about and what we were worried about. We also shared pictures of us at our happiest!
The new class teachers will use this information on the first morning back on August 22nd to get to know us better. See our video below and a photo of our completed forms.
