Calderwood Clan Championships
We are excited to hold our first annual sports day on 1pm on Thursday 26th May (weather permitting). If the event needs to be cancelled, we will groupcall you on Thursday morning to inform you.
This event will have two parts:
- Highland Games Competition: In house communities
- Clan Races: There will be two races per clan, decided by the children and they will be opt in
Families are invited along to the event, we would request that we limit guests to two adults per family. As we start to move out of covid restrictions, towards whole school events, we want to support our children with this, as these events are very new experience for some of them. There will be an allocated area on the field and on the grass verge between the amphitheatre for spectators, please stay within these zones, there will be signage. Please use the Glencoe Gate to access the amphitheatre. There will be no access to the toilets for spectators. As not all our children have photographic permission, we request that parents and carers do not take photos at this event, the champions will share photos.
On this date, children should wear their usual navy joggers/shorts, trainers and on top their house community colour:
- Sika – blue
- Red – red
- Fallow – green
- Roe – yellow
It would be fantastic if families could join in and wear their family house colour too!
Children should also remember their water bottle and wear suncream if the weather is sunny.
You can find a link to a social story here:
On Friday 27th we will present the race and house winners with their awards.
Fundraising from Calderwood Magical Miles have helped to buy sports equipment for Sports Day and the house shield and race medals.

Ben Lomond’s Cross Country Challenge
The West Calder High School Cluster Cross Country Competition took place on 24th May 2022 and saw the children from Ben Lomond Clan take on 1.3km of undulating terrain. All the children in this Clan completed the race, hit the targets they had set for themselves and showed huge positivity throughout.
The results are in and we are delighted to announce that a child from Ben Lomond Clan came first in the Boys Race! As a result, they will be attending the Pan-West Lothian event next session to compete against the winners of the other Primary School Clusters.
Many thanks to Kat Stark and all at Active Schools West Calder for organising the event and supporting us on the day.
