Pumpherston and Uphall Station Community Primary School actively encourages all children to wear school uniform. The benefits of wearing school uniform are:
- Differences between pupils are reduced, which in turn reduces some of the causes of isolation and bullying;
- The self-esteem of particular groups can be improved;
- Security can be improved – it is easy to spot who does and does not belong to the school;
- It can improve the image of the school in the local community.
Our school uniform consists of;
- grey or black trousers/skirt/pinafore/school shorts
- white polo shirt, white school polo shirt or a white shirt and tie
- a blue school sweatshirt, a blue school cardigan, a blue sweatshirt or a blue cardigan
- sensible outdoor shoes
- black indoor shoes
- blue check summer dress with a blue cardigan
For P7:
- P7 tie – gifted by the school (– this will be organised at a relevant and safe time)
- white polo shirt or a white shirt
- black sweatshirt or black short cardigan
- grey or black trousers/skirt/pinafore/school shorts
- sensible outdoor shoes
- black indoor shoes
P.E. Kit:
- white or blue tshirt
- black or grey shorts
- black gym shoes
The West Lothian Council policy on school uniform can be found at: https://www.westlothian.gov.uk/media/2136/Dress-Code-for-Schools/pdf/SchoolDressCode.pdf
As our office is currently closed if you would like to purchase uniform with the school logo on it, I would encourage you to do this online at: https://www.border-embroideries.co.uk/schools/pumpherson-and-uphall-station-primary-school.html. At present I am unsure how we as a school can manage the ordering and distribution of uniform from the school office before August. If you have any questions please get in touch with us at wlpuscps@westlothian.org.uk.
Primary 1-6 ties are available from the school from 12:00-1:30pm for £4.
We also have nearly new uniform, which we will have on sale at the end of this term.
