Information for August
Dear parent/ carer,
I hope you are well.
It’s hard to believe it is almost the end of the school year!
I have created the attached leaflet with all the information you will need to know for your child starting Calderwood Primary on Tuesday 17th August 2021. I will also be back in touch before the school session starts with further updates.
I wish your child/ren the best of luck during their last few days of their current nursery/ school. Our champion team are ready and are awaiting their arrival in August at Calderwood Primary, where we can start our beyond the dream journey!
Kind regards,
Miss Burton
Head Teacher
