Weekly Newsletter - Friday 5th May, 2023

Headteacher: Mrs L Nicholls
Dear Parents and Carers,

Part 1 Broadford News

Please be reminded that school is closed on Monday 8th May for the extra bank holiday to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III. If you are celebrating the coronation or not, I hope you enjoy a fantastic long weekend. Let’s hope that the weather warms up for us. 

Coronation Celebrations!

Today has been a wonderful day in school with lots of fun, singing, dancing and cake. Please make sure that you catch up with all the coronation fun on our social media platforms. 

Have a look at the Broadford pupils singing the Coronation song here


End of Key Stage Statutory Assessments

During the month of May the year 2 pupils will be working extremely hard and teachers will be carrying out assessments to demonstrate the pupils’ attainment at the end of key stage 1. We look forward to being able to report the  results of these assessments later this term. 

Year 6 statutory assessments start on Tuesday 9th May. All year 6 pupils are invited to a breakfast club which will give them an opportunity to relax before the assessments start. They will feel raring to go after a good breakfast. Good luck to all of our pupils, they have worked very hard and we are proud of each and everyone of them. 


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.
