From the start of the 2017/18 academic year, Calderwood will move to state-of-the-art premises in Newton Mearns, in the heart of Glasgow’s Jewish population.

In a pioneering venture, it will be joined on its new site by a Catholic school. Calderwood will have its own classrooms but the schools will share facilities such as the gym and playground.

The information meeting was chaired by Evy Yedd, co-president of the rep council, who retired as a Calderwood classroom assistant last year.

Headteacher Marion Carlton guided parents through the transition plans, assuring them that the only difference for their children would be learning in a more pleasant environment.
