Children In Need 2018

Do you need to have a clear out for Christmas?

We are now collecting unwanted games, dressing-up clothes, toys, books and bric-a-brac for our Bring and Buy Sale which will be held on Friday 16th November. All proceeds will go to this year’s Children in Need appeal.

Pupils can bring a small amount of money on Friday 16th November to spend at the sale – items will be priced at £1. There will also be home-baking available to purchase.

Parents and carers are welcome to visit the sale from 12pm.

For a small donation, pupils can also wear something spotty on Children In Need day.

We look forward to seeing you at our Bring and Buy sale.

Profiling @ PUSCPS

This session we are looking at improving our approaches to profiling. At our recent inservice day staff looked at our current approaches to profiling and some changes we would like to trial following some professional reading.

Please see below an overview of profiling in our school. We will be asking you for your feedback on some of our current and new ideas over the school session.

P4-7 Pupil Profiling Survey

As part of our school improvement plan, Primary 4-7 took part in a survey to evaluate our approaches to profiling. They were asked to score out of 6 if they agreed with the following statements from How Good Is OUR School? The feedback will support us with making improvements to our profiling approaches.

The results are as follows:

Everyone in our school can take part in a group, club, team or activity beyond normal class time if they want to. 5.26

Parent Partner: Halloween Parties

This year we had a Halloween Party with a difference! Our Parent Partners had organised a range of exciting activities and games for us to play. There was lots of positive feedback about the different activities on offer.

Thank you to the house and vice captains for helping out at the younger party and to the staff who came along to support the event, and have a dance with their children!

A big thank you to our parent partners for coming with up a very original Halloween Party, for preparing all the fun activities and attending on the evening.
