Rights Respecting School

Two of our pupils will be attending a showcase event at the Shawlands Hotel. They will be sharing their experiences with children across Lanarkshire and telling them all about our development of the ‘Rights Respecting School’ culture in Calderbank primary.
Opportunities to carry out different activities and roles in a variety of settings have enabled me to identify my achievements, skills and areas for development. This will help me to prepare for the next stage in my life and learning. HWB 2-19a
