Calderwood Communication: 

  • Free School Meals and Clothing Grant Information: Although all children in Primary 1-5 received free school meals, it is important that those families who are entitled to the free school meals grant apply, as this can get free school milk for your child and access to other support, in and out of school The clothing grant application also helps you to receive funding to purchase uniform supplies for your child. The link has more information and our equity champs are more than happy to support you with filling out the forms.
  • Calderwood Chatter in our Cosy Corner is open from 11-12pm every FRIDAY for a cuppa and a friendly chat if you need any advice, support or just a listening ear.

Calderwood Compliments:

  • Thank you Mull Clan for our last clan connects of the year! You shared all your learning about numeracy and maths in a fun and exciting way. We loved all your songs! Thank you to everyone who joined us.
  • The sun shone on us for East Calder Gala. Thank you to our choir for performing at the crowning ceremony and for those who joined us in the parade. Congratulations to those who won the art competition and races.
  • Last week our children turned into rock stars as they performed in our Rookie Rockstar Concert! All children took part in learning the songs during clan time, helping them to explore important wellbeing messages around inclusion, diversity and anti-bullying. Congratulations to everyone who performed in the concert and to our champs for organising.
