Red Nose Day 2024

Caldershaw Pupils (and staff) thoroughly enjoyed Red Nose Day 2024. Pupils voted to come in their favourite colour or dressed in a selection of colours, including crazy hair and face paint. Our fantastic cook, Rorrie, also made Red Nose biscuits to aid in our fundraising efforts. We had a wonderful day and most importantly raised £580 for this extremely worthwhile cause!

Brain Tumour Research 'Wear a Hat Day'

Part of the school Council's 'Big Action Plan' for 2023-2024 was to participate and raise money for the Brain Tumour Research 'Wear a Hat day.' The children had a great time wearing their own clothes and hats (many of which were very imaginative) and for our efforts we raised a fantastic £631!

Cat's Protection Day 2023

The final part of our 'Big Action Plan' for 2023 involved informative class talks from a representative from Cat's Protection, followed by a 'purrrfect' day of fun and fundraising for this worthy cause. During our fundraising day, pupils and staff dressed up as cats (or in cat colours) for a £2 donation. Some lucky children who were picked from a draw, then had the opportunity to paint the faces of their Teachers and Teaching Assistants to make them more 'cat like.' As you can see, some of the results were interesting but the children had a great time doing this. Finally, staff and pupils paraded their feline moves down a catwalk to cat themed music. For our incredible efforts we raised a fabulous £574! A huge thankyou and well done for all of your support.

Caring Caldershaw

As part of our Big Action Plan, the School Council delivered handwritten letters and postcards to residents within our local community. The letters were written by all of the children within our school, with the intention of spreading some happiness and good cheer.

The Guide Dog association.

Well done to Caldershaw-we raised £406-98 for the Guide dog association. The children enjoyed taking part in a blind folded obstacle course which helped them to have a greater understanding of how it feels to be blind. They also had fun playing Pin the tail on the dog!

Alongside our Eco council, the school council have decided to support two animals, which are currently endangered in 'Our World'!

We collectively chose the sea turtle and the jaguar. Both of these face habitat destruction, climate change and many other factors, which in turn are causing a catastrophic decline in these species. Caldershaw Primary School will make a donation, which will hopefully help to protect the future of nature and support the WWF's Global efforts.

Well done Caldershaw for yet another successful

Hello Yellow Day 2020!

Once again may we thank all our parents and carers for their support, which helps lots of families in need in our borough.

Some members of the school council and other students were asked to join our cook Rorrie Fenton to taste new ideas for our school dinner menu! This consisted of Jerk chicken, spicy noodles, home made coleslaw, burgers and lots more!! Most of the children agreed that the new ideas were very tasty indeed!

Look out for them appearing on our menu choice.

Once again the school council would like to say a huge 'THANK YOU!' for supporting our

RSPCA Donations 2021!

Huge thank you to our parents/carers for your generous donations to our local

'RSPCA' in Rochdale.

We welcomed Inspector Beth Fazackerley from the RSPCA to our school .She taught us all about the importance of caring for any animal either in the wild or a family pet. Beth was extremely knowledgeable about her role and answered all of our questions!

Thank you again to Beth and her colleagues-we hope our donations help to look after the animals currently being cared for in our local Rochdale branch?
