Headteacher: Mrs L Nicholls
Dear Parents and Carers,
As I am sure that you are all more than aware, we have had a single confirmed case of Covid-19 in school this week. We all have to ‘do our bit’ during these uncertain times and keep all members of our community safe. Thank you for your continued support, It is very much appreciated by us all. I would just like to remind you all of the following points.
We would like to ask that parents support us to ensure that all members of our school community are safe. Please ensure that you;
Drop and collect your child according to the staggered start and end times. This is so that we can reduce the number of parents in one place at one time. Once you have dropped off or collected please leave the premises quickly so that other parents can do the same.
Ensure that your child is dressed in warm clothes. The classrooms will remain ventilated throughout the day.
Please use the allocated coloured spots to collect your child to ensure social distancing.
We strongly encourage all adults to wear face coverings when dropping off and collecting their children. Our staff will do the same.
Unfortunately, we are unable to allow parents into school at this time. Please use the email addresses below for all communication purposes.
If your child or any member of your household develops coronavirus symptoms then you must stay at home and book a Covid-19 test.
I would like to thank you in advance for your continued support. Together we are stronger.
Shared mailboxes and communication
In these uncertain times, please remember that the main method of communication with your child’s class teacher is via the shared mailboxes. They are checked daily and can be used to ask questions, pass on information or check details:

Message Mr Denchfield
As you may be aware, I started my new role as Executive Headteacher of Broadford and Mead last week. It is a time of great challenge for our country and our school communities and I wanted to reassure you that my immediate priority is to support Mrs Smith and Mrs Nicholls, the staff, children and parents though the next few months as best we can. These are extraordinarily challenging times and we will continue to work tirelessly to help and support you and your children where we can.
Most days, I am on the school gate in the mornings at Mead or Broadford. Please do come over and say hello and share any thoughts you have on our schools. I know that much great work that has taken place over the years, and that there are, of course, areas in which we could be even better. I very much look forward to getting to know you all and to working in partnership with you as we move into the next phase of The Learning Federation’s journey and I will endeavour to always give your children my all as I lead both Broadford and Mead into the future.
Take care and stay safe.
Mr Denchfield

S.M.I.L.E Christmas Appeal
Only a few more days to make your donations. Please ensure all donations are sent into school by 20th November.
Many children will not receive anything from Father Christmas this year as they are living below the breadline. Therefore S.M.I.L.E are providing shoe boxes full of treats and delivering them to families who need the most support.
