This system can only send invitations to the main contact for the child which has been recorded on SEEMIS and we request that they make the appointment. To make your appointments please go to: https://parents-booking.co.uk/pumpherston
Please note: You need to type this address into your website browser’s ‘web address bar’.
Try not to ‘Google’ search the website address, it will not be searchable that way.
Login by entering the requested information, and then use the Booking Wizard to make your appointments.
You will need to enter:
- Your title (Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms) and surname
- Your child’s first name, surname and date of birth
Please note: The login details you enter must match those we have on record for you. If you have not alerted the school to any relevant name changes, we will be expecting you to login with the details you gave us original. The booking system will allow you to make bookings from 17th September 2020 at 6.00pm and will close for bookings on 24th September at 1pm.
Once you have logged in, we suggest you use the ‘Booking Wizard’ to make your appointments, although a manual booking option (one booking at a time, one child at a time) also exists.
Troubleshooting Tips
- If you cannot login and have tried all the combinations you think we have on file, please contact the school office using the e-mail address at the top of the login page.
- The email address you can enter is only used to receive a confirmation of your appointment. It will not be used as a login ‘check’. Your e-mail address is never the reason you cannot login.
- If you have several children to make bookings for, and decide not to use the Booking Wizard, you can make appointments one-by-one using the ‘manual booking’ method. Use the ‘Change Child’ button on the blue bar (above the school’s name, at the top of the web page) to swap between your children.
If you are unable to book at home, please contact the school office for help.
P7 Local area IDL
When thinking about our local area in P7, we looked at what we know, what we wanted to find out and how we would learn about it. We had so many questions that Mrs Andison decided to let us all investigate what we are interested in ourselves. Some of us are working in small groups, in pairs or on our own. At the end of our research stage we will produce a leaflet from our notes, about one aspect of our local area. We are enjoying finding out about where we live. We will put photos of our leaflets on the blog to show the finished product. Look out for them in a few weeks time.
Primary 3/2 – Our Local Area
For the past few weeks, Primary 3/2 have been working on a local area study. Miss McLaughlin is very proud of all of our hard work and creative ideas! Watch the video below to see our learning journey!

Primary 1 Local Area Interdisciplinary Learning
As part of our topic, Primary 1 have been learning all about the local area. We looked at lots of photos talked about the different features of our community including the park, the train station and the shop.
This week the children have been looking at different types of housing and talking about where they live. Rosie explained that her house has stairs and Freddie shared photos of his garden and the places that were near his house. We have started to create models of homes to show what we have learnt. We hope to finish these next week and create a village display.
We have also been learning about the effects of littering and talked about what we could do the keep our local community clean and tidy. We went on a litter pick in the playground and created posters to tell others to always put their litter in the bin.
