Pumpherston and Uphall Station Community Primary School actively encourages all children to wear school uniform. The benefits of wearing school uniform are:

• Differences between pupils are reduced, which in turn reduces some of the causes of isolation and bullying;
• The self-esteem of particular groups can be improved;
• Security can be improved – it is easy to spot who does and does not belong to the school;
• It can improve the image of the school in the local community.

Our school uniform consists of;

• grey or black trousers/skirt/pinafore/school shorts
• white polo shirt, white school polo shirt or a white shirt and tie
• a blue school sweatshirt, a blue school cardigan, a blue sweatshirt or a blue cardigan
• sensible outdoor shoes
• black indoor shoes
• blue check summer dress with a blue cardigan

For P7:

• P7 tie – gifted by the school (– this will be organised at a relevant and safe time)
• white polo shirt or a white shirt
• black sweatshirt or black short cardigan
• grey or black trousers/skirt/pinafore/school shorts
• sensible outdoor shoes
• black indoor shoes

P.E. Kit:

• white or blue tshirt
• black or grey shorts
• black gym shoes

The West Lothian Council policy on school uniform can be found at: https://www.westlothian.gov.uk/media/2136/Dress-Code-for-Schools/pdf/SchoolDressCode.pdf

As our office is currently closed if you would like to purchase uniform with the school logo on it, I would encourage you to do this online at: https://www.border-embroideries.co.uk/schools/pumpherson-and-uphall-station-primary-school.html. At present I am unsure how we as a school can manage the ordering and distribution of uniform from the school office before August. If you have any questions please get in touch with us at wlpuscps@westlothian.org.uk.

Primary 1-6 ties are available from the school from 12:00-1:30pm for £4.

We also have nearly new uniform, which we will have on sale at the end of this term.
