Class Photographs 

Carmel Jane Photography will be visiting our school on 8th of June 2023, to take the Class Group Photos. 

All Parents are requested to pre-register before the photography date above to enable access to your child’s photographs. Pre-registration is required for every photo shoot.

Registration only takes a minute.  Please visit www.carmeljaneshop.co.uk

and enter the following code:

You will then be asked to pre-register with your child's full school register name.

Once registered, as soon as the photos are available you will receive an automatic email notification to inform you that your child's photos are now ready to be viewed and can be purchased. 

Don't miss out pre-register today!


Volunteering 

Earlier this month we celebrated the coronation of King Charles II. One of the themes of the coronation weekend was ‘the big help out’. We challenged every year group to participate in a volunteering activity to help out our local community. Have a look at the list below to see what our pupils have been up to and keep an eye on the blog for photographic updates.

Summer Fete Save the date - we are hosting our summer fete on Saturday 8th July. We hope to see as many of you there as possible. 

Rainbow Tombola Day
On Friday 9th June we are holding a non school uniform day at Broadford in support of the ‘Rainbow Tombola’ and for prizes at the summer fete. Pupils can come to school wearing their own clothes, but they must wear school shoes or trainers. Instead of the normal procedure of bringing in some money, on this occasion we are asking pupils to bring in an item to donate to the fete in exchange for wearing non school uniform.
As it is a ‘Rainbow Tombola’ and for prizes we need new items which are of course in the colours of the rainbow. We have given each year group a specific colour to make sure that we have a spectrum of colours for our tombola. Please see the list below to see what colour your child’s year group is. 

EYFS - Orange 

Year 1 - Green 

Year 2 - Pink 

Year 3 - Purple 

Year 4 - Red

Year 5 - Yellow 

Year 6 - Blue


All you and your child need to do is select a new item in the specific colour for their year group and bring it into school on the non school uniform day on Friday 9th June.  Then come along to the summer fete and play the ‘Rainbow Tombola’ to win a prize every time or play some of the games on offer to collect tickets to exchange for a prize. We can’t wait to see you all there.
