Cost of the School Day
At West Calder High School, we aim to identify and address financial barriers to participation and learning for families and young people. By working in partnership, we will ensure that we maximise opportunities for our young people to succeed.
Our `West Calder Cares' Anti-Poverty Strategy seeks to support our most vulnerable young people and their families by reducing the cost of the school day and removing barriers to participation.
Please download our 'cost of school day' statement which sets out the measures we have taken to reduce the cost of the school day for every young person.
