Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
As a school community we are very lucky to have an onsite community library. All our children from nursery – P7 have the opportunity to visit the library as a class during the school week. You can also continue this experience by visiting the library as a family, please see the leaflet below for opening hours.
Why not pop in after school to find out more?
Thank you to all our new nursery families who came along to our information evening.

We have organised a range of events to ensure a smooth transition for your child into Primary 1. As your child is a currently enrolled as part of our nursery, most of these events will naturally happen and you do not need to make any extra arrangements.
Learning together
For this opportunity the pupils will be spilt into groups depending on whether they are a morning or afternoon child. They will get to experience what learning is like in a P1 environment. They will experience this at three different points over May and June, including a playground session, allowing them to experience the playground.
Assemblies:
Children will have the opportunity to join us with our whole school assemblies at different points during the term.
Buddy Visits:
Their buddy is a P6 child who has been matched with your child to support them during transition and to help them find their way around the school. We have organised for their buddy to visit the nursery three times before the end of this school year.
P1 Induction Evening – Meet the Teacher (for parents):
On Tuesday 5th June at 6pm we would like to invite parents/ carers along to find out about what learning and routines are like in P1. You will also receive all your enrolment and order forms at this time and have a chance to visit the P1 classrooms.
Meet the Teacher (for pupils) and Dine Together:
On Tuesday 19th June at 11:00-12pm we invite all our pre-school pupils to meet their new teacher and class. During this time you are invited to stay for tea and coffee and get to know the other P1 parents. If your child is currently in the morning Nursery we will take them over to their P1 classroom. If they are currently an afternoon child you will have to make arrangements for them to be at school by 11am. Following this you will have the opportunity to sample a school lunch with your child (from 12:00pm-12:30pm). A lunch order form and more information will be given out at the induction evening.
Information for NEW families to PUSCPS
Learning together:
The pupils will get to experience what learning is like in a P1 environment and to meet their P7 ‘buddy’. They will have the opportunity to experience this at four different points over June and you are invited to bring your child along to any/all of them.
We look forward to meeting you all.
