Bringing Items into School
Children should continue to bring a named water bottle into school containing water only, no juices.
Children do not need to bring pencil cases into school. All resources will be provided by the school. 

Uniform 
All pupils are expected to return to school in full school uniform
If you are eligible for a school uniform voucher, please contact the school office to request this if you haven't already received this. 
PE days will be communicated with you by class teachers via the curriculum newsletter in the first week of term. 
We would encourage all pupils to bring into school a pair of indoor shoes (slippers or plimsoles) that can be left in school and they can change into when in the classroom. This helps us to keep the school clean and hygienic for our pupils.  

Breakfast Club
The doors will open for breakfast club on Wednesday 6th September at 7.45 am. Breakfast club can be booked via the sQuid app from Monday 4th September. 

After School Childcare
From Wednesday 6th September, Essex After School Clubs will be operating an after school child care facility. The office can provide details and information regrading this. We also have the details of local childminders should you prefer this option. 

New Reception and Nursery Children
We are very excited to welcome our new pupils and families into Nursery and Reception over the next few weeks. You will have received information from the staff regarding visits and start dates and times. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact the staff via the following emails. 

nursery@broadford.havering.sch.uk
reception@broadford.havering.sch.uk

School Dinners and sQuid
A reminder to parents that all primary school pupils are now entitled to free school meals. However, if you are eligible for the pupil premium funding we encourage you to continue to apply for this as this grant provides us with much needed funding to provide the best education to your pupils. Please see a member of the office staff to check your eligibility. 

Havering Catering Services
Week beginning 4th September is week 1 on the Havering catering services menu. 

I know that all staff are very much looking forward to welcoming all pupils back to school next week and we are most definitely looking forward to a great year ahead. 

Kind regards, 

Mrs L Nicholls 
Headteacher
