Dear Parents and Carers,

Parents Evening
Thank you to all parents who attended parents evening this week. We hope that you enjoyed the opportunity to meet with your child’s class teacher to discuss their learning journey.
Amazing Attendance and Perfect Punctuality Week - Monday 3rd March - Friday 7th March
After the success of our first amazing attendance and perfect punctuality week I am thrilled to announce that we will be doing it all again this half term!
As we kick off the new school year, we’re excited to introduce our ‘Amazing Attendance and Perfect Punctuality Week', on Monday 3rd March.
This special initiative is designed to encourage everyone to embrace the importance of being on time, remembering our 'Pupil Job 1', while having a bit of fun along the way.
Pupil Job 1 - Come to school every day on time
Parent responsibility - Ensure that your child arrives for school on time, every day and ready to learn.
Weekly Attendance Target 96%
Here’s how it works:
📅Daily Prize Draw
Each day of the week, if you arrive at school on time, your name will be entered into a prize draw for a chance to win a delightful bag of treats! The more days you arrive on time, the more chances you have to win! It’s a simple and fun way to motivate everyone to prioritise punctuality.
🍽️Early Bird Breakfast Treat on Friday:
As an extra incentive, we’ll be hosting a ‘special early bird breakfast treat’ this Friday for all children who arrive by 8:45 AM. Collect your treat from outside the main office before you head off to your classroom. It’s our way of saying thank you for your commitment to being on time and starting the day off right!
🎉Whole Class Treat:
We want to elevate the excitement even further! Any class that achieves amazing attendance and/or perfect punctuality for the entire week will receive a special whole-class treat. So, encourage one another and show your commitment to being present and punctual!
Let’s make a fantastic start to the school year by showing our commitment to attendance and punctuality. Remember, arriving on time not only helps you settle in for a successful day of learning, it also sets a great example for your peers.
We are excited to see all of you bright and early, ready to learn and participate. Let’s set a positive tone for the rest of the year and build the habits that will lead us to success!
Best of luck to all, and let the attendance challenge begin!
World Book Day - Thursday 6th March
The theme for this year is 'Read Your Way!' At Broadford Primary School, we love reading and thoroughly look forward to World Book Day every year. We have been busy making preparations for a day of book-themed fun! Here are just a few things we are looking forward to:
Character Costume Or Snuggly Pyjamas
To coincide with this year's 'Read Your Way' theme, we are inviting children to come into school on World Book Day in either their Favourite Character Costume or their Snuggly Pyjamas.
Please remember, as this time of year is particularly cold and wet, it is really important that the children are dressed appropriately and have suitable footwear (such as long sleeves, trousers and outdoor shoes) to be able to enjoy any outdoor activities on the day.
We know that shop-bought costumes can be a little expensive, so why not try making something to wear instead... a character mask maybe? Here's a few ideas!
Half Term: Monday 17th - Friday 22nd February
The children’s last day this half term will be Friday 14th February and the second half of the Spring term resumes on Monday 24th February. We look forward to children returning to school on Monday 24th February, the doors will open for EASC breakfast club at 7.30 am and the doors will open for all other pupils at 8.30 am. EASC will resume on Monday 25th February straight after school and extra curricular after school clubs will start again on the 25th February and pupils will be required to be collected from the allocated door at 4.15 pm.
