1/2 It is with great sadness that we inform you of the death of Ms Ferguson, one of our Pupil Support Team. Ms Ferguson was a highly regarded and popular member of staff who worked tirelessly for the pupils in Caldervale, dedicating her life to supporting our pupils.
Today we remember our dear friend Kirsty Ferguson who we lost one year ago. Kirsty had a tremendous impact on our school community and her kindness to others was well known. Today as we think of Heather and the boys, why not do a random act of kindness in memory of Kirsty.
2/2 Ms Ferguson died after a short illness which for the avoidance of any doubt was not Covid related. We remember at this time Ms Ferguson’s wife Heather and their boys and pass on our deepest condolences to them.
Caldervale's own Ms Lindsay & Mrs Johnstone are working tirelessly, volunteering with
@Kelvinside1878
, making 5000+ full face visors, delivered to frontline workers in hospitals, hospices, & to priests, vets & care workers. We could not be more proud!

@StAndrewHospice
! Over the past two decades Caldervale school community have run/walked/climbed etc to raise this phenomenal amount for such a well deserved and worthy cause.
Congratulations to our new Senior Pupil Leadership team. Captains Ava McLean and Cameryn Stangoe and Vice Captains Aidan Arnott and Reiss McGowan.
