Dear Parents and Carers,
World Book Day
Well done to everyone for the fabulous costumes on display today, there were some very creative ideas, which I have no doubt took quite a while to make. Well done to all of the parents! The pupils have had a great day in school listening to authors, reading alongside their peers and decorating their classroom doors. Look out on the blog for the photographs of best dressed and door decorations.
Mother’s Day
Fundraising
We are planning on hosting the first Summer fete that Broadford has seen in a good few years. We would love to make this event a fabulous community day for the whole family. We already have loads of great ideas in the pipeline but obviously we need help to put all of our plans into action. If you would like to be involved please come and join the fete committee.
There will be an initial meeting on Tuesday 7th March at 3.15pm. Once you have collected your child if you make your way to the front office we will meet in the conference room. The children will be able to go to the library to watch a video for the duration of the meeting.
Parent Forum
Our parent forum met on Monday for our Spring term meeting and discussed the parental feedback that we have received regarding our stay & learn sessions, pupil passports and attendance and punctuality.
You may be aware that by September 2023, all mainstream schools will be expected to provide a compulsory week of at least 32.5 hours by the government. This means at Broadford that we will need to extend our school day by 15 mins. Currently our doors open at 8.30am and pupils must be in school by 8.55am. There are a variety of ways in which we could extend the school day and we would like to hear from our parents what your preference would be. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey via the link below and state your preference. I would like to thank you for your cooperation in advance.

Havering Catering Services
Week beginning Monday 6th March is week 2 on the Havering catering services menu. All meals are served with unlimited salad and vegetables and cost £2.37.
Please be reminded that your child’s sQuid account should be topped up at all times. We cannot provide dinners for pupils whose account exceeds a debt of £10. If you are experiencing difficulties please contact Mrs West in the school office who will be able to provide you with support and assistance.
I am very pleased to inform you that the school kitchen now offers a halal chicken option. Whenever there is a chicken dish on the lunch menu there will always be a halal option available for those pupils who follow a halal diet.
