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?
On Friday we welcomed 52 delegates and residents from Mtarfa in Malta, who are twinned with Pumpherston. Guests included Mayor Attard and Joanne Mifsud, Head of the local primary school. We entertained our guests with a Scottish Celebration Assembly including dancing, singing and reciting poetry. The visit was organised through Pumpherston Community Council and we look forward to developing a partnership with the primary school on Mtarfa.

Tomorrow Mrs Dickie leaves us to return to her substantive post at St. John Ogilivie. At assembly today we surprised her with a video of our favourite memories of her, most of which were about the floss! She even performed the floss, with P7 for the whole assembly.
Our whole school community will miss Mrs Dickie, we will miss her calm, thoughtful and caring nature. I agree with Josh when he says ‘She is the best second in command ever!’ and would personally like to thank her for all her support over the past 7 months. We wish her luck as she returns to her old school and in her future adventure.

This morning the whole school along with the P7 parents and carers celebrated our P7s. The children sang, danced and shared memories. They also had an awards ceremony receiving their mugs, certificates, high school tie, tablet and year book. Mr Povey came along and shared some words with the children and gave them each a bible.
Thanks to the Parent Partner Group and our staff for organising all the gifts for our Primary 7 children.
At the ceremony I reminded them of the messages from our NED Show:
I also shared with them that I would like them to remember to ‘Be the difference!’ as they move to high school and into adulthood.
Thank you to all our partners who have worked wth Primary 7 over the years, it was lovely to see so many of you today, and it was great that Mr Eagleson could join us.
Everyone at Team PUSCPS would like to wish our Primary 7 children all the luck and happiness for their futures, and a thank you to their parents for the support they have given the school over the years.
