A wonderful moving on ceremony this week for our nursery pre-school pupils. We wish them all the best for their move up to Primary 1.

Today Calderwood said goodbye and good luck to our very special Mrs Laing! We will always be grateful for the energy, enthusiasm and commitment she has given our nursery since opening it at the very beginning. We wish her all the very best for her future career in teaching.

We had a lovely afternoon welcoming our soon to be P1 into Calderwood Primary School to meet their Clan and Champion! We hope you all enjoyed spending time in your new Clan room and meeting your Champion for August!


The nursery would like to thank the Parent Council and all the families who have helped to fundraise for the nursery. We are delighted to share some purchases from this year. We have enhanced our health and well-being resources and added a music frame to our outdoor collection.
