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:

  1. Everyone in our school has opportunities to be able to develop a variety of different interests, talents and learn new skills. 5.13
  2. Everyone in our school can take part in a group, club, team or activity beyond normal class time if they want to. 5.26
  3. Our school keeps accurate records of pupil participation and achievements and helps us to recognise their importance of these. 4.85
  4. At all stages of school we have good opportunities to take responsibility through organising and leading activities. 5.13
  5. We can talk confidently about the skills we are gaining as a result of leading and organising aspects of school life. 4.91
  6. We are getting better at knowing when our skills are improving and being able to talk about this. 5
  7. We have a good way of recording our knowledge and skills and this shows how we are building on the skills we have developed. 5.3
  8. Our school knows and is interested in building on the skills we are learning out of school. 4.96
  9. Our achievements are recognised, valued and celebrated by our school and community through a range of ways which help build our self-esteem and confidence. 5.09

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.

Pumphie Pals: Digital Learning

Today at Pumphie Pals we discussed four different questions:

  • What is technology?
  • How do we use technology at school?
  • How do we use technology at home?
  • What other ways could we use technology to help us learn?

Our Digital Directors will use this information to help their Junior Leadership Team.

Harvest Assembly

This morning we had our annual harvest assembly.  We were joined by our special guest, Mr Povey, who told us a story about the true meaning of harvest time.

P5 were excellent, telling the whole school and our parents/carers all about when and why we celebrate at this time.  Club Wild also presented and shared their learning with us and had lots of fresh vegetables to sell.

A huge thank you to all of our pupils, parents and carers for donating so generously to our West Lothian Food Bank collection.  We hope to continue supporting this very worthy charity throughout the year.
