Car Park Reminders
A gentle reminder that the front two lines of spaces opposite the school and nursery are for staff parking only. If you are using the car park for drop off and pick up, please use the two rows of spaces further away from the school.
We would also request that cars do not drop off or pick up at the side of the school on Nethershiel Road, there is no drop off zone here. This road does have construction traffic and can easily become congested if school families park here.
Please ensure whoever drops off or collects your child is aware of this information.
Thanks as always for your support.

Scottish Poetry Recital Clan Competition
Our children have been busy learning their Scots and Burns poems the past two weeks, at home and school. Today the children who wanted to enter the clan competition recited their poem for their clan. Congratulations to all our children who recited their poems, their was a real buzz of excitement across Calderwood!
The clans then had a secret vote for who they thought should represent their clan at the Calderwood competition, they used the success criteria to help with this. Tay clan used an online form for their votes.
Congratulations to our clan competitions! These children will represent their clan in the Calderwood Poetry Recital next Friday which will have a panel of judges.
The children were also very excited to make a phone call home to share their news!
