WLC have created a basic summer holiday social story which we will use in our clans. You may want to share with your child at home. #AllOurChildren
C in the Park Dress Down Day
Dress down day: Children can come to school and nursery on Friday in their C in the Party festival wear, or dress down (no donation required).
C in the Park: Event Information
Hey everyone,
Just a few reminders about C in the Park for Friday.
You will be aware from all our publicity that tickets were on sale 24th May to 7th June, this was for a number reasons:
- To ensure we have enough materials to cater for everyone coming. We ordered resources on 9th June based on the ticket sales
- To get an estimate of numbers, in order to keep everyone safe, as this is our first whole nursey and school event
- For admin purposes: We had specific time blocked off (during a busy time of year) to organise tickets and we knew this week we would be running a short staffed office
Those who have ordered a ticket and haven’t yet received one, will receive it on Thursday.
Anyone still desperate for a ticket, can collect one from the office at 3:00-3:30pm on Thursday, cash only. We would request that these tickets are only for families of Calderwood Primary and Nursery and one adult per family (to ensure we have enough resources available/ space). Due to it being such a busy time of year, please refrain from emailing or phoning about the tickets as we may not be able to respond.
Timings: 1pm-3pm
Access: Through the playground, no access through reception. (Although we have toilets available, we would request that you try and use the toilet before attending). Entrance is by a ticket lanyard only, and these will not be sold on the day, we would request that you don’t put champions in an awkward position by showing up without a ticket. Under 2s do not require a lanyard.
Parking: There is only access to the carpark for those offering services at C in the Park and for blue badge holders.
Your ticket gets you access to all areas:
- Football and Dance on the field
- Games on the playground grass area
- Arts & Crafts – Cafe and STEM Studio
- Music & Dance Acts: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/wl/calderwood/2022/06/15/c-in-the-park-line-up/
- Photographer: Outside
- Face painting & tattoos: Cafe
- Author in residence: wooden steps
- Extra: Mocktails will be sold in the Cafe – £1 each, cash only
There will be donation buckets for any loose change.
Food traders in the carpark are open to the whole community:
- Seahills Farm – Cash Only
- Baked by Pippa – Cash/ Card/ Contactless
- Food van – Cash Only
- Ice cream van – Cash Only
In the event of heavy rain, some activities will be moved inside (fingers crossed!) … If there are changes, we will update you on Friday morning.
Dress down day: Children can come to school and nursery on Friday in their C in the Party festival wear, or dress down (no donation required).
Kind regards,
Miss Burton

Calderwood Champions 2022/2023
Clan Changeover: Clans & Champions for 2022/23
Dear parent/ carer,
We are excited that we now have a full complement of champions for session 2022/23 for Calderwood Primary. This has involved the recruitment of 8 new teacher champions, 2 pupil support worker champions, an Acting Principal Teacher, an Equity Team, a new supervisor and a new clerical assistant. Along with us welcoming our new champions, we are also welcoming, approximately 70 new Primary 1 children and 30 children into Primary 2-7. Finally, Chapter Two will see us creating our first Primary 7 clan.
A time of change for us again as we move into Chapter Two of Calderwood Primary. You will know that at Calderwood we are used to change and transition, we have a programme in place to support and welcome the newest members of our Calderwood family; children, champions and families, and that process has already started.
Miss Swift leaves us, for now, to go on maternity leave. We wish her lots of luck and health, and look forward to meeting her new baby after the holidays.
The attached document details our champion team; there are also blog links for each clan, which has a picture of the champion’s, a video about them and a social story about life in their clan. This is to support all children as they move to a new clan name, room and champion, please take time to go through with your child.
Kind regards,
Miss Burton
