P7 Calderwood pupils attended the annual West Lothian Track and Field championships at Craigswood Sport centre. The pupils competed in various events. On the track they competed in the 80m, 600m and 100m by 4 relay race. On the field they competed in the long jump and the shot put. Well done to both the girls and boys teams as they demonstrated excellent athletic abilities and good sportsmanship throughout the day.
Calderwood pupils attended an Active and Sustainable Travel sharing session at West Calder High School. Each of the cluster schools shared the work they have been doing with the AST group. The event was also an opportunity for the young people (and adults) to better understand the process of consultation and change. It was also an opportunity for the pupils to see other schools in their clusters Place Standards and share what is good and what they could do to improve their local community. A number of people from different Council departments attended and chatted with the pupils and answered any questions that they had.
Well done to the team from Calderwood who competed in the Jak Trueman cup on Wednesday evening. They team played very well in all the games and were undefeated on the night. They came 3rd in the tournament after narrowly losing on penalties in the semi-final.
This week, we were delighted to host our COSD (Cost of the School Day) event here at Calderwood, bringing together families, partners and pupils for a really positive and supportive afternoon.
The event was designed to help families access support, advice and information in a relaxed and welcoming environment. A range of partner organisations joined us, offering guidance on areas such as clothing grants, funding support, employment opportunities and local community programmes for the summer.
Our pupils played an important role in making the event such a success. They helped to run a coffee shop, creating a friendly space for families to come together, chat and find out more about the support available.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to all of our partners who took the time to attend and share their expertise. Your support makes a real difference to our school community and helps ensure that families feel informed and supported.
We are also incredibly grateful to the families who came along. It was lovely to see so many people taking the opportunity to connect with services, ask questions and spend time together in school.
Events like this highlight the strength of our community and the importance of working together to support all of our children and families.
Thank you again to everyone involved in making this such a successful event.

This morning, Baird Clan came together to share their learning with their families and the rest of the school community through their Clan Connects.
The children told us all about The John Muir Award. They did an amazing presentation and we were treated to some amazing singing! We are so proud of each and every one of our learners.
Baird Clan then spent some time with their adults, sharing more of their learning from the year so far.
Thank you to all parents and carers who were able to come along to support Baird Clan this morning.
Thank you to everyone who came along to support the children during sports day. The weather held up in the morning with showers in the afternoon. The children were able to take part in the 8 activity stations with some classes taking part in the running races. Highlights from the children were the space hopper station and the javelin throw. The winning house for the potted sports was Fallow House. Well done! The remaining races will take place at a later date.

Well done to the Calderwood Football team who attended the Livingston South cluster event for the 3rd time this year. The Sun was out and the team played some excellent football. Great team work and sportsmanship was on show throughout all the games. They managed to win 5 games with some very impressive performances.
Last Friday marked the close of another exciting basketball season for Calderwood Primary, and what a season it has been! Our teams have shown incredible dedication, teamwork and resilience throughout, and we are so proud of everything they have achieved.
A special congratulations goes to our P7 team, who finished an impressive 7th in all of West Lothian, and to our P6 team, who secured a brilliant 6th place finish. Competing at this level is a huge achievement, and both teams represented Calderwood with pride, determination and excellent sportsmanship at every event.
Beyond the results, this season has been filled with memorable moments—players developing their skills, building confidence, supporting one another and showing true team spirit on and off the court. It has been fantastic to watch their progress and see how much they have grown as individuals and as teams.
As we look ahead, we are incredibly excited for the future. We wish our P7 pupils every success as they move on to high school and continue their basketball journeys. We have no doubt they will go on to achieve great things and carry their love of the game with them.
We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this season possible:
Your support has made a real difference and helped create such a positive experience for our pupils.
Well done to all involved—bring on next season! 🏀
