On behalf of Mid Calder Primary School, I am very pleased to welcome all our new pupils and their parents.  I am delighted that you have chosen Mid Calder and look forward to working in partnership with you.

Our school vision creates a very positive ethos within our school; all members of our learning community ‘Believe’ in themselves and thus ‘Achieve’ the best they can which will ultimately enable them to ‘Succeed’ in all they do.

We aim to prepare all our young people for the challenges of the future. Our learning environment aims to stimulate, challenge, support and provide opportunities to develop life skills. We celebrate attainment and achievement gained not only  in school but within the children’s personal lives  through our ‘Living our Values’ certificates and  iAchieve Gold, Silver and Bronze awards.

This handbook will only give you a ‘snapshot’ of life at Mid Calder and visiting the school will provide a fuller picture.  You are very welcome to come and see us at work – just telephone to arrange a visit.  Someone is always very willing to show you round and answer any questions.

You can find out more about our school by visiting our school blog: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/wl/mcps/

We look forward to a happy and successful experience working with you and your child.

Mary McKenzie, Head Teacher
