Dear Parent

I am delighted to introduce you to Caldervale High School’s Website. Our school is a successful, inclusive and forward looking comprehensive school serving the communities of Airdrie, Chapelhall, Caldercruix, and Plains.

In Caldervale High School we have a shared vision among staff, pupils and parents which aims to provide all our learners with the opportunity to succeed, in academic areas or in their own wider achievement. Our school values of Respect, Inspire, Enjoyment and Equality ensure that our teaching and learning, curriculum, learners’ experiences and opportunities for personal development are of the highest quality. Our learners and staff have the highest expectations of themselves at all times. For our young people, this is reflected in their uniform, effort, positive behaviour and success in and across the school.

Through our curriculum, we meet the needs of all our learners. We provide opportunities for our young people through four contexts of learning – in the classroom, through wider achievement, by involvement in the life of the school and through well planned interdisciplinary learning.

We have strong partnerships with local colleges and businesses to ensure that appropriate opportunities are available to our learners, and to enable all of our learners to be prepared for the world beyond school. Our learners are fully supported to ensure they have a positive destination post school, whether that be university, college or the world of work.

In Caldervale High School it is important to us that we know our learners and their families well, and support them in all aspects of their education throughout their time as part of our school community. Meeting needs of learners is ensured by the very positive partnership we have with parents and carers.

Our young people are key to everything we do in this school. They are hugely successful in a wide range of areas. I hope that this website will give you a flavour of life in Caldervale High School, and look forward to working with you when your child joins us.
