Please see below some useful information regarding Scarlet Fever and Chicken Pox.
If your child develops symptoms please inform the school office as soon as possible, please then share which suspected illness your child has and when this diagnosis has been confirmed.
This year, your child’s school will be participating in Sustrans’ I Bike project. Your child’s school might have also participated during the previous academic year.
I Bike delivers a variety of activities and events. These include led walks and rides, Dr Bike, Bikeability, Active Travel Breakfast and bike maintenance.
This Parent and Carer survey is collecting data for the purpose of evaluating and monitoring the I Bike project. We are interested to see the impact it has had on you and your child and your thoughts on what could make active travel easier for your child.
Active travel is when a journey is made by being physically active, such as walking, wheeling, cycling and scooting/skating.
The results may be used to influence and support further local and national funding bids and help define the health value of physical activity and active travel. It will help to understand and continue to improve the project. Specific comments on local infrastructure will be noted but is beyond the scope of I Bike.
Please complete the short survey – it should take about 4 minutes. I Bike Parent and Carer Survey (2022/23): https://sustrans.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/i-bike-parent-and-carer-survey-2022

We are currently developing our approaches to health and wellbeing. We would like our families to give some feedback so we can improve and implement on these approaches at Calderwood.

Recently, it was published evidence that nasal irrigation with salt water helped reduce the cold in adults. We have also shown the mechanism for how salt water helps with the common cold when applied on the nasal epithelium. Our research showed that cells use the chloride from the salt water to fight viral infections. Hence, we are now testing if salt water nose drops helps children fight the cold.
If you have a child under 7 years of age, you may be able to join the fight.
The Children’s Hospital in Edinburgh are doing a study of salt water nose drops to see if it helps get rid of the cold faster.
Your child does not need to have a cold right now to take part!
You can join right now by calling/texting 07973657457 for an appointment to sign up and to be taught what to do the next time your child has a cold.
Your child does not need to attend.
Families completing the study will receive travel expenses and a £30 voucher to compensate for any inconvenience.
