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.
