Autumn Term Parent Consultation Evening - Monday 15th & Tuesday 16th October
We are looking forward to welcoming all parents on Monday 15th & Tuesday 16th October for parent consultation meetings. You will have the opportunity to meet your child’s new class teacher and find out how they have settled so far this year. The teachers will also explain the expectations for the end of the year for your child.
Our year 6 prefects will also be on hand to show you to the classrooms and asking parents to complete our annual parent survey.
Please complete the attached google form by the end of the school day on Wednesday 3rd October. You will receive your appointment by Monday 8th October.
After School Clubs
Clubs start next week on Monday 1st October. If your child is staying at school for after school club please make sure they are collected at 4.15 pm promptly. There will be signs on the doors to indicate where your child should be collected from. As many pupils will be staying after school for clubs the one way system will be less congested at the end of the day. Many thanks to all parents for their support and co-operation in this matter.

The Learning Federation Parents’ Association are once again busy planning this year’s firework display which will take place on Friday 2nd November 2018 at Broadford Primary School, 5.30pm-8.30pm.
