We are currently developing our approaches to health and wellbeing. We would like our families to give some feedback so we can improve and implement on these approaches at Calderwood.

Ben Lawers hosted our first Calderwood Connects for families on Friday. They had been learning about the West Lothian Food Bank as part of their Calder Communities Context. The children created a drama centring around everyone needs help at some point in their life, sharing different times when families might use a food back.
We also welcome representatives from West Lothian Foodbank along to watch.
A huge well done to Ben Lawers Clan, we are super proud of your performance, and the creative way you shared this important message.
