Pupils and staff from Calderhead High will be participating in the St Andrew’s Hospice 6K event on Sunday, 18th September, with a 10.30am start.

Pupils from S1 and S2 visited the Edinburgh International Book Festival today to see one of Scotland’s leading hip-hop bands, Stanley Odd.

Great inspiration for our Poetry Slam workshops next month…
