On the 28th of November 1892, Calderbank Primary was open to pupils and we are still proud to serve the local community today ! We had a wonderful time on St. Andrew’s day, 2012 when the community came together to help use commemorate 120 years of Calderbank Primary. It was a fabulous afternoon when we shared the past, present and future of Calderbank with our family and friends.
We designed a wallhanging to celebrate 120 years of Calderbank Primary school. Every child in the school drew a picture, representing an aspect of life in our community.
Ellis Rodger painted a wonderful picture of the school building which we used at the centre of our design. We asked Mrs Carson to unveil it on our special day and it now takes pride of place in our school hall for all to see.
We enjoyed sharing our learning with our guests. P6/7 were in character as they were transported back in time to days gone by. Mrs Young was a very strict Victorian school ma’am and the children used their slates and quill pens to learn their lessons.

As part of our Health & Wellbeing programme all children in the school have been learning about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. We have been looking at film and animation illustrating children’s rights and have been having a go at creating our own. We will be posting our film and animations soon !
