Call for Help! Developing the Young Workforce!
We are keen for our pupils to have opportunities to learn about a variety of skills and knowledge that may help encourage and inspire them to consider different options in the future.
During the year there are opportunities for class learning to link with occupations and skills for work. We would like to build a bank of volunteers to approach during the year to come in to talk to the children.
This could be class, group chats or running a workshop, whatever you feel comfortable with. If you would like to volunteer to talk about your job or skills please fill in the form below.
This can be shared with parents, carers and members of the community.
Easyfundraising at PUSCPS
It has been brought to our attention by a member of our Parent Partners that our school has an Easy Fundraising Account.
Easyfundraising turns your everyday online shopping into free donations for your favourite cause. How? Just start your online shopping first at easyfundraising, then shop as normal. Our retailers will then make a small donation to say “thank you”.
They have 3,771 retailers to choose from and so far we’ve raised over £28 million for thousands of community groups, schools, sports clubs, small and large charities across the UK. Easy!
The link for our school is:
https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/puscps/?q=pumph&cat=cause-autosuggest
You use this to create an account. Then every time you shop, if you log in through this website first the school receives a donation to our school funds without any cost to you.
We would appreciate it if as many families and friends could sign up to support us.
Please check school bags
Please check your child’s school bag for an information pack about school routines, reminders and policies. One pack was issued per family.

Welcome Back Assembly
This morning at assembly Miss Burton told us about how when she went to the Lion King with her mum in the summer it reminded her of our school. This is because we all should take pride in our school and have no worries!
We sang our school song and listened/ sang to some songs from the Lion King as well.
She was VERY impressed with our Wonderful Walking at assembly.

Visit My Class
Welcome Back!
It was lovely to welcome back all our children today, including our new families, Primary ones and our new nursery families. There was lots of excitement, smiles and hugs in the playground this morning!
Over the next two weeks staff will be getting to know your child and rebuild their class community. They will making their class charters based on our school rules of ‘Ready, Respectful and Safe’ and these will be shared with you.
Our priorities for this session are:
- Ensuring all children receive regular, well-planned learning in one plus two modern languages.
- To provide all children with access to numeracy and writing learning experiences of a consistently high standard, with robust assessment of progress.
- To refresh our vision, values and aims in consultation with the whole school community.
- To embed the Career Education Standard across learning.
- To continue to embed digital approaches to improve learning and teaching.
We look forward in working with our Parent Partners in achieving these priorities.
We will have a Visit My Class workshop on Wednesday 11th September at 6pm, which will give you the opportunity to visit your child’s class, meet their teacher and find out more about their learning.
I hope that we can continue to work together in the best interests of our children. I believe in having an open door policy, so if you have any suggestions, ideas or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Ultimately, I hope that our children take away happy memories from their primary school experience and that they will remember the events, people and the learning that made school memorable for them, enabling them to develop and demonstrate our school values.
Here’s to what I know will be a fantastic year!
Kind regards,
Miss Burton
