School Uniform

Pumpherston and Uphall Station Community Primary School actively encourages 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 or a white shirt and tie
• a blue school sweatshirt or blue cardigan
• sensible shoes
• black indoor shoes
• blue check summer dress with a blue cardigan

P7:

• black sweatshirt or black cardigan
• P7 School tie

P.E. Kit:

• white or blue tshirt
• black or grey shorts
• black gym shoes

Uniform can be ordered from the school office. School clothing grants are available to parents in receipt of a qualifying benefit; application forms are available from the school office. The Parent Partner Group hold a nearly-new uniform sale at points throughout the session.
