Part 1 Broadford News
Attendance email
If your child is absent from school please email attendance@broadford.havering.sch.uk to report the absence. Please include in your email your child’s name, class and the reason for absence. If you use the office email it may be missed. This email will be sent directly to our attendance officer Mrs Goff and will support our admin team with completion of the registers.
Shared mailboxes and communication

Spare Clothes
Winter weather is definitely here! Over the past few weeks it has been wet. This means that children get wet and many need a change of clothes. If your child has needed to borrow some clothes from school we kindly ask that you wash them and return them as soon as possible. We need many spare clothes for the number of children that we have. If you have had a clear out at home we would really appreciate donations of items that your children have outgrown. We particularly need socks and bottoms (trousers, tracksuits bottoms) for girls and boys. Many thanks.
