Calderwood Basketball – First Tournament

Calderwood Basketball Teams Kick Off the Season!

On Friday, our Calderwood Primary basketball teams took part in their first tournament of the season at West Calder High School. Both squads showed fantastic teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the day.

  • Calderwood Hornets (P6 Squad) are currently sitting 5th on the league table.
  • Calderwood T-Wolves (P7 Squad) are holding 7th place after some exciting matches.

We are incredibly proud of all the players for their effort and enthusiasm. A big thank you to everyone who supported the teams and helped make the day a success!

📸 Check out the photos of both teams below!

Let’s keep cheering them on as the season continues, Go Calderwood!

Calderwood Ski Team – 1st December 2025

The Calderwood ski team performed exceptionally well yesterday at the Scottish School Snowsports Skier and Boarder Cross Race.

The course was particularly challenging—set over the Hillend freestyle section, with steep jumps and high-adrenaline twists and turns. We are incredibly proud of all the children who competed at such a high standard.

A special mention must go to Harper, who showed tremendous bravery in overcoming her fear of jumps to take home the gold medal.

For someone only six years old, Niamh was fearless and unstoppable. She is certainly one to watch—without doubt a future Calderwood star racer!

Ruairidh was his usual cool, calm and collected self, though even he struggled to contain his excitement when he learned he had taken 2nd place, grinning from ear to ear.

Results – P1–P4 Category:
🥇 Harper 
🥈 Niamh
🥈 Ruairidh 

Charlie and Aaron also deserve special recognition. Their age category is incredibly competitive, yet they demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship, bravery and resilience, pushing themselves to compete at a very high level.
