Dress Down Day

A gentle reminder that Friday 27th is a dress down day. We would request that if children decide to dress down could they please make a donation in return for this. Our recent dress down days have raised £40-£50. This dress down day is to raise money for school funds to help us with buying resources for our playground.

Maths Week Scotland Sumdog Contest

P1-7 can take part in the Maths Week Scotland Sumdog Competition, at school and at home. The competition starts on Friday 27th September and runs until 3rd October.

A huge thank you to Parent Partners fundraising, which has supported the renewal of our Sumdog subscription.

Good Luck!

1 Plus 2 Languages Support

At Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS, one of the priorities on our School Improvement Plan this session is the 1 Plus 2 modern languages agenda.

Children are taught French from Nursery to Primary 7. This year we want to extend this by introducing another language or culture in an informal way. Our Parent Partners thought that some families within our school and community could support us! If you can help us, for example a workshop with a class, a club or ongoing support, please fill out the form below.

Thanks in advance.

A little personalisation about your child. There will be opportunities for this at parents night and Families Learning Together and Sharing the Learning Events.
Do they have school photographs taken to buy? Yes, Tempest Photography do this once a year. Look out for the date.
Positive reinforcement examples. Have a look at our Positive Relationships at PUSCPS.
