Calderwood Compliments:
- Thankfully the rain stayed away for C in the Park and we had a fantastic time celebrating together. Thanks to everyone who attend or supported the event. We raised an amazing £2212.94! You can find some photos on Twitter and more information here.
- It has been a fantastic week celebrating all things Ben Lomond, our first ever Primary 7 at Calderwood. Their Calderwood Connects was a tribute to the huge part they have played in our Calderwood story and the legacy they have left behind. Thank you so much to the champions who made this all possible, and to you, their families for all the support you have given us during their time at Calderwood. We can’t wait to see all what they all achieve on the next part of their journey.
- Thank you to our champions, who always go above and beyond for our children and families. I am always so proud of our team, and how they care for our children, whilst providing inspirational learning opportunities.
- I can’t quite believe it’s time to close our Calderwood Chapter 2! It has been another year of achievements, making memories and growing together. Thank you for all the support you have given us this year, it is greatly appreciated by myself and our staff team. I hope you all have a fantastic summer. Miss Burton
