Weekly Newsletter - 30.6.2017



Dear Parents and Carers,

TES Awards
As I am sure you are all aware, Broadford Primary School won two prestigious  awards last Friday at the TES award ceremony in London. Primary School of the Year and Overall School of the Year. We couldn’t be prouder of the pupils, parents and staff within this community who have worked together to make Broadford the fantastic school that it is today. The awards have attracted a  lot of attention and in the very near future we are looking forward to an article in the TES weekly publication, visits from school leaders across the country and America and a visit from the newly elected local MP, Julia Dockerill.
A very big thank you to each and every one of you for your constant support every day. We are very excited about the future.

Diary Dates
On Monday 3rd July, year 5 pupils are visiting Kidzania. The sports team will be representing Broadford in a Hockey competition at Drapers’ Pyrgo. Mrs McFarlane is taking 15 year 3&4 pupils to the Harry Potter studio tour. If your child is going on this trip then please make sure they arrive at school at 7.30 am.
On Tuesday 4th our nursery children will be graduating at 9.30 am and 1.30 pm. All parents and carers are warmly invited and we do advise that you bring along your tissues! On Tuesday afternoon the school council representatives will be attending a cluster meeting and Pine spinebreakers will be visiting the library with Miss Sparks.

On Thursday 6th, the book club are going to watch Gangster Granny after reading to book so that they can compare the two.
We finish the week with a busy Friday. Year 2 are visiting the Tower of London and the Maths team are going to city hall to compete in the finals of the Count on Us competition, good luck guys! Year 6 maths party is at 9.15 and the year 5&6 cyclists are visiting the Redbridge cycling center.
