Dear Parents and Carers,
Part 1 Broadford News
World Book Day
We had such a fantastic day in school yesterday, celebrating World Book Day. Thank you to each and every one of you for your commitment in supporting your children to look so good! The children did some great, reading-related, activities in school. Do take a look at our school blog to see lots of the highlights from the day here.
Amazing Attendance and Perfect Punctuality Week
Pupil job number 1 - Come to school everyday on time
This was the second Amazing Attendance and Perfect Punctuality week at Broadford, thank you to everyone who made an effort to arrive at school everyday on time. The overall attendance for the week was 96%, which is a 3% increase from the last AA& PP week and this week we have hit the target! Congratulations to you all for doing job number 1. We saw those pupils making an extra effort to arrive before 8.45am to ensure that they get to put their names into the lucky buckets and we appreciate your effort. Keep it up!
Congratulations to the lucky bucket winners, we hope you enjoy your prize bags.

University of Broadford Graduations
We are sadly coming to the end of our Broadford University courses and what a great 10 weeks we have had. I have seen so many happy, smiling children, bursting to tell me all about the wonderful things they have been learning at their University of Broadford sessions. The children have all shown great resilience and reciprocity while working through their courses and we couldn't be prouder of how much they have all achieved.
We would now like to invite you in to celebrate your child’s achievements. The dates and start times for each course are as follows:
Your child will be able to tell you which class they have been studying.
If parents/carers could please wait at the lower gate on Faringdon Avenue, by the waiting area , a member of staff will be there to escort you in at the start time.
We look forward to welcoming you into school for our wonderful graduations.
