Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
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.

Dear Parents/Carers,
I would like to introduce myself to you as the new Acting Head Teacher of Pumpherston and Uphall Station Community Primary School and share a bit about myself along with the vision that I have for our school community. Firstly, I would like to begin by thanking the children, staff and parents for already making me feel so welcome. It was a great opportunity for me to be part of the recent inspection process, and Mr Eagleson has been a great support in helping me to get to know the school community.
Kind Regards,
Miss Burton
Reminder that this Friday is the last Friday of the month.  It is also Mr Eagleson’s last day at PUSCPS.

If you have a suggestion for a charity focus for next months’ dress down day, please let us know.
Many thanks to everyone, pupils, staff and home for making last week’s HMIE Inspection a positive experience.
The inspection team left on Friday and we are very proud of the hard work of everyone.
The report on the inspection will be published after Christmas and we look forward to celebrating our successes and working on our next steps together.
Unfortunately, Fiona Morrison, our PT, has had to begin her maternity leave a week early for health reasons. We are sorry to see her go without a chance for a proper goodbye but we will see her soon and I’m sure you all join us in wishing her all the best. We are very excited to hear the news in the next few weeks!
Next week Sarah Burton, the new acting HT, will be in school all week. this is to provide support for the pupils and parents during the inspection with Miss Morrison’s absence. It is also a great opportunity for Miss Burton to get to know all of our great pupils, families and staff better before formally taking up post on 27 November.
Morag Dickie, the new acting PT, will take up post next Monday (20th November) and I know she is very keen to get to know you all and get on with developing and supporting our ongoing work.
warm regards,
Steven Eagleson
Headteacher
