Updates: 17/08/22

Dear parent/ carer,
It has been fantastic to welcome our children back and see them so happy about being back at Calderwood Primary! We are rapidly growing, yesterday we welcomed 79 new Primary 1s and 47 new children across Primary 2-7, this will also grow over the coming weeks.
With this in mind, it is important, that you, or whoever is collecting your children takes time to read the Sway below. We do have to put a process in place, to ensure our children are collected safely, this is why there are different pickup points for different age groups.

As children are eating their snacks outside at break time, please ensure they have a small healthy morning snack for their break, children who have their snack in a lunch box are finding it difficult to eat all their snack during this time.
Those families who have iPay please use this to order your child’s lunch to save time in their clans, new families to Calderwood will receive their log ins next week. A reminder that the last payment for milk for this term is on Friday 19th August. This can be ordered on iPay or through the office if you don’t have iPay.
P.E Days will start from Monday 22nd August, you will find information about this here: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/wl/calderwood/2022/08/17/term-1-2022-23-p-e-days/
A gentle reminder that everything should be labelled with your child’s name; uniform, jackets, water bottles and lunch boxes.
Kind regards,
Miss Burton

Clan Changeover: Clans & Champions for 2022/23

Dear parent/ carer,
We are excited that we now have a full complement of champions for session 2022/23 for Calderwood Primary. This has involved the recruitment of 8 new teacher champions, 2 pupil support worker champions, an Acting Principal Teacher, an Equity Team, a new supervisor and a new clerical assistant. Along with us welcoming our new champions, we are also welcoming, approximately 70 new Primary 1 children and 30 children into Primary 2-7. Finally, Chapter Two will see us creating our first Primary 7 clan.
A time of change for us again as we move into Chapter Two of Calderwood Primary. You will know that at Calderwood we are used to change and transition, we have a programme in place to support and welcome the newest members of our Calderwood family; children, champions and families, and that process has already started.
Miss Swift leaves us, for now, to go on maternity leave. We wish her lots of luck and health, and look forward to meeting her new baby after the holidays.
The attached document details our champion team; there are also blog links for each clan, which has a picture of the champion’s, a video about them and a social story about life in their clan. This is to support all children as they move to a new clan name, room and champion, please take time to go through with your child.
Kind regards,
Miss Burton
