Validated Self Evaluation Report
Prior to the October holidays, Calderwood Primary had a Validated Self Evaluation from West Lothian Council. Mr Iain McDermott, our Education Officer, and Mrs Geraldine Armstrong, Quality Improvement Manager, had discussions with children, champions, parents/ carers and partners about our transition to Calderwood Primary. Miss Miller, Mrs Scott and I also shared our Calderwood journey with them. It was a very positive experience, which is reflected in our report. Bella and Matthew from our Ben Lawers and Lomond Clans, did a fantastic job of being tour guides for our visitors and supported with the learning walk around our clans. Thank you to all involved in the process, especially our champions and children.
I presented the report at Education Quality Assurance Committee this week, where we had lots of positive feedback and compliments from councillors and it was recognised we will be able to support other new schools in the future.

Calderwood Goes Planting!
Today all the Clans had the opportunity to get outdoors, braving the rain, and plant bulbs. We were really excited to spend time with different Clans – Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond should be so proud of the support they gave to younger children in our community.
We did this to play our part in the nationwide Edina Bulb Project – you can find out a little more about this by clicking here. We were really excited to explore our learning about the needs of a plant even further and cannot wait to see these bulbs begin to sprout in spring!
Running Week at Calderwood
Click Here for our Promo Video!
This week is WL Running Week. Our partner Active Schools have set us a challenge to complete a running race of various distances. Our results will be shared across West Lothian up against the other schools.
We’ve also been working on these 3 challenge questions to stimulate our interest in running and its benefits.
- How can we promote our Running Event?
- How can we record / measure our runs – any digital ideas?
- What makes an effective runner?
Click the Sway below to see the launch of Running Week. We will update this Sway throughout the week with any action!
