Weekly Newsletter - Friday 4th July, 2025


Headteacher: Mrs L Nicholls 

Dear Parents and Carers,

Part 1 Broadford News

Last day for Clubs
After school clubs will finish for the summer term on Friday 11th July.

The Colour Run - Thursday 17th July

We’re thrilled to announce that Broadford Primary will be hosting a Colour Run on Thursday 17th July. This is a fun, vibrant event designed to celebrate our pupils’ attendance and promote fitness, school spirit, and plenty of smiles!

What is a Colour Run?

A Colour Run is a non-competitive event where children can walk, jog, or run through a course while being gently sprinkled with coloured powder at various stations. It’s all about fun and participation—there’s no racing or timing involved.

Is it safe?

Yes! The coloured powder is made from cornstarch and food-grade dyes. It’s non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe for skin and clothing. We’ll also be taking steps to protect pupils’ eyes, and volunteers will apply the powder with care.

How to Prepare:

  • Wear white: So the colours really pop!

  • Bring sunglasses: To help protect eyes.

  • Pack a towel or change of top: For a quick clean-up before heading home.

Permission Required

To ensure that all pupils can take part safely, we require a signed waiver from a parent or guardian. This confirms that you understand the nature of the event and grant permission for your child to participate.

Please complete and return the waiver by Monday, 7th July.

Waiver

We’re really looking forward to this exciting event and can’t wait to see our pupils enjoying such a colourful day!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Mrs. Stanley. We're here to ensure this is a safe and joyful experience for every child.


The colour run is free for all pupils. However, on the day we are running a lucky bucket competition to win a colour hamper full of activities and treats for the summer holidays. If your child would like to be in with a chance of winning their year group colour hamper please send in £1 to ensure that their name is included in the lucky bucket draw after the colour run! 


Summer Colour Raffle
As our summer theme is colour! We have a fantastic colourful raffle to raise funds for our school. There are many prizes to be won including a super duper scooter, picnic hamper and sooo many colourful hampers full of treats for all the family. Tickets are and are available from the school office every day and are priced at £3 per strip or 2 strips for £5.
To kick off our colour run the raffle will be drawn on Wednesday 16th July live via our school facebook page.
