Pupil job number 1 - Come to school everyday on time
This was the first Amazing Attendance and Perfect Punctuality week at Broadford, thank you to everyone who made an effort to arrive at school everyday on time. The overall attendance for the week was 93% just 3% away from our target.

Congratulations to the lucky bucket winners, we hope you enjoy your prize bags.
