Calderwood Ski Programme

Calderwood Ski Programme – Expression of Interest
We are delighted to be exploring the launch of a Calderwood Ski Programme in partnership with Midlothian Snowsports Centre, starting in August 2026.
The programme is expected to run on Friday afternoons from 4.30pm-6pm,
21 August to 9 October (8-week block).
Depending on demand, we hope to offer either:
• 20 Beginner spaces, or
• 10 Beginner spaces and 10 Improver spaces (Levels 2–3)
The final cost has not yet been confirmed by Midlothian Snowsports Centre, however we expect the price to be approximately £65 per child for the full 8-week block. Please be aware – the cost may be slightly higher.
Parents should be aware that these sessions are heavily subsidised. For comparison, a standard 4-week block booked directly through Midlothian Snowsports Centre currently costs £128 per child and is due to increase from August.
Please note:
• This is not a school-run activity.
• Parents/carers will be responsible for transporting and accompanying their child to and from the sessions.
• Children must be supervised by their parent/carer throughout the lesson.
• Places will be allocated subject to demand and availability.
At this stage we are seeking expressions of interest only.
If you would be interested in your child participating, please contact
sarahgny@gmail.com  with an expression of interest by Friday 19th June.

West Lothian P7 Track & Field Championships

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.

 

Active and Sustainable Travel Sharing Session

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. 

COSD Community Event – Thank You!

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.

Baird Clan Connects – 22nd May 2026

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.

Calderwood Sports Day 2026

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.
