Calderwood Primary and Nursery

What an emotional farewell this week. I have loved celebrating with our wonderful children, champions and families. I would like to thank everyone for their kind words, gifts and support. I am proud to have been part of the Calderwood journey, starting the school from the ground up has been an amazing experience. Building special relationships with children, families and champions has been my favourite part. Your children are a credit to you all, I am privileged to have worked with every one of them. I will treasure the memories and miss everyone dearly. I wish everyone at Calderwood the best for the future as you continue to grow and develop!

Calderwood Growth

Last week we had a Parent Council Meeting about the plans for growth and for August 2023 for Calderwood Primary, you can find the minutes here. In August we will grow to 22 clans, and at the minute we are working on a clan structure with West Lothian Council. Initially we know that we will have 5 Primary 1 clans and a P2/1 clan. We will update families about the plan for August, as more information becomes available.

Nursery-P1 transition

This week we had information sessions for our August 2023, Primary 1 families. You can find the information we shared here. Other information about transition into Primary 1 23/24 can be found here.

Stay and Play Sport Week

We look forward to welcoming you along to our Stay and Play Sport Week next week. We will have sport activities set up in the garden that you can participate in with your child.

Each child will get a wellbeing indicator sticker for being active and how they demonstrated this over the week.

Sun cream

Thank you to everyone for providing your child with sun cream, this means they can enjoy the outdoors in warmer weather. We appreciate all who have taken the time to apply this to your child on arrival, this speeds up the process of them getting outside.

Calderwood Compliments

Last week our children, clans and champions in the school and nursery were part of a West Lothian Council Validated Self Evaluation It was a positive experience for us, and validated our progress and next steps. A huge thank you to our champions for all the effort they put into this experience, we will share the report with you once we receive it. Thank you to our parents/ carers who took part in the discussion groups.
