Starting 22nd August:
Primary 1’s First Day at Calderwood!
A huge warm welcome to our Primary 1 pupils who joined our Calderwood Family today. We want you to know, they all had a fantastic first day filled with fun, laughter and lots of smiles. They played with old friends and new friends, had a lovely lunch and enjoyed time with their champions. Not even the rain dampened our spirits! They took great pride in their Calderwood Couture and we look forward to sharing some special photos with you later in the week of this special moment in time.
Thank you for your participation in the transition events leading up to the big day! This ensured that we were ready to for the children arriving into the clans.
Just a few gentle reminders to keep us moving forward in Primary 1:

- Please ensure all of your child’s items brought to school are labelled to prevent them getting lost!

Nursery Champion Update
Dear Parent/Carer,
We would like to inform you of some changes to Champions in our nursery as our numbers and community continue to grow.
Firstly, a huge congratulations to Mrs Lyon who was successful in our recruitment process and has accepted the permanent Early Years Officer role.
Secondly, we say goodbye to Mrs Fair one of our PSW champions, who is embarking on a new journey at university to become a Primary Teacher. Her last day will be the 29th July. Also, goodbye to Miss Dolan who is embarking on a new journey at another nursery. Her last day will be the 12th August. We wish them both the best of luck and thank them for their great contribution to building Calderwood Nursery.
Finally, a warm welcome to Mrs Orr (Pupil Support Champion) who will take over from Mrs Fair, who will join us on 1st August. Additionally, our three new Nursery Champions, Ms McPhee, Ms Cartwright and Ms Gallagher, will join us on 10th August. As all of the new staff are already based in West Lothian placements, they will bring a range of skills and qualities to add to our champion team.
We look forward to continuing to build our Calderwood Nursery community over the next year.
Kind Regards,
Amy Miller
Principal Teacher
