Postponement of Prelim Exams scheduled for Friday 18th February
The Prelim Exams scheduled for Friday 18th February have been postponed until Tuesday 22nd February due to the weather warning issued by the Met Office. “Storm Eunice may cause disruption due to heavy snow and some strong winds on Friday.” The warning is in place from 0300-1800 on Friday.
This should ensure that the pupils and invigilators have a stress free journey on Tuesday prior to these important exams.
Calderhead High School Handbook 2022
We are delighted to publish our Handbook for session 2022/2023. Each year we update it with new photographs, holiday dates, the current staff list etc. The School Captains, Kayla and Kenzie, have written a welcome page for all the P7 pupils who will be our new S1 pupils in August. They share their own experiences of being in P7 about to move to a new building and how it has worked out well for them. Hopefully, if you are in Primary 7 you will recognise older pupils in the many photographs who also attended your Primary School. Soon it will be your turn to be enjoying adventures and many new experiences at Calderhead High School. We look forward to welcoming you in August.

Letter to Parents/Carers from National Clinical Director, Professor Jason Leitch
The letter below is addressed to Parents/Carers of school age children. It is dated 16 September 2021.
Letter from Dr John Logan, Department of Public Health
The letter below sets out the new arrangements for COVID-19 positive cases. The major change is that Test and Protect will solely handle the close contact situation and be responsible for making contact with pupils.
Another change is the definition of a close contact
“Your child would only be identified as a contact if they have had prolonged close contact with the case (someone who tests positive for COVID-19) – e.g. same household, overnight stays.”
