Updated Information for Starting Calderwood Primary

Hi everyone,
We hope you have had an enjoyable summer.
Preparations have been ongoing over the summer and we are super excited to begin our Calderwood journey on Tuesday 17th August for our Primary children.
Please find below updated information for starting the new school session. We would appreciate your time in reading this document and completing the online forms (if you haven’t managed to do so already).

We appreciate your understanding and co-operation as we navigate this unique journey and would ask for you continued patience as we settle into life at East Calder and Mid Calder schools.

Here’s to a moment in history and starting our new adventure together.
Kind regards,
Miss Burton
Clan Champion

Update on the Opening of Calderwood Primary

Dear Parent/Carer,

 

As explained during the recent information sessions, the opening date for the school was dependent on the construction completion, following the impact of the COVID pandemic on the build programme. It was our intention for children to start attending the Calderwood building following the October school break. I am delighted to inform you that the completion date has exceeded expectation and that we are now able to provide the following update.

 

Primary pupils will start attending the Calderwood building from Wednesday 22nd September (following the September break). Miss Burton and her school team will make arrangements for ‘familiarisation’ visits for pupils prior to their first official day in the building. These will be confirmed once the new session is underway. Visits for parents/carers will be organised when possible, in line with Scottish Government COVID-19 guidance for schools and further information will follow.

 

Nursery children will start attending Calderwood Nursery from Monday 18th October. This date differs as the nursery requires to be registered with the Care Inspectorate prior to operating.

 

I am sure that this is welcome and exciting news for your child(ren) and your family, and I am looking forward to our new school being a busy, fun and engaging learning environment at the heart of the Calderwood community.

Kind regards,

Greg Welsh

Head of Education (Primary)

Information for August

Dear parent/ carer,

 

I hope you are well.

 

It’s hard to believe it is almost the end of the school year!

 

I have created the attached leaflet with all the information you will need to know for your child starting Calderwood Primary on Tuesday 17th August 2021. I will also be back in touch before the school session starts with further updates.

 

I wish your child/ren the best of luck during their last few days of their current nursery/ school. Our champion team are ready and are awaiting their arrival in August at Calderwood Primary, where we can start our beyond the dream journey!

 

Kind regards,

Miss Burton

 

Head Teacher
