Dear Parents and Carers,
Part 1 Broadford News
Welcome back, I hope that you all had a wonderful half term break.
I have no doubt that this half term will pass by as quickly as the last as it is a short one. There are lots of exciting events to look forward to. World Book Day and a special themed lunch, pupils will be graduating from the University of Broadford and of course we will be hosting our annual Easter parade before we break up for the Easter holidays!
Feedback and Communication
Thank you to all parents who completed the parent survey during the parent consultation evenings before the half term break. We very much value your feedback. We were thrilled to hear that 95% of you agree and agree strongly (44%) that your child is happy at school, 94% of parents agree and agreed strongly (45%) that their children are well taught and 87% of parents agreed and agreed strongly (36%) that you receive valuable information about your child’s education.
We will, once again, be hosting our open parent forum on Friday 22nd March at 2.30pm, so please come along if you have any concerns, questions or feedback. We would love to meet with you.
In the meantime, we would like to remind you that you can email your child’s class teacher using the email addresses below. We are always happy to discuss any issue that you may have.

World Book Day
As usual, the school is taking part in WORLD BOOK day on Thursday 7th March. Children are asked to come into school dressed as their favourite book character. You can join us in building your child’s enthusiasm for books well beyond World Book Day by reading together regularly and joining your local library if you are not yet a member. For more information about World Book Day, ideas for World Book Day costumes and ideas on sharing books at home, visit worldbookday.com.
We hope that you have been exchanging those vouchers for books at your local bookshops!
