Autumn Term Parents' Evening and Pupil Passports 2025

We are looking forward to welcoming all parents into school this week to discuss your child's learning with you at the beginning of this academic year.

At the beginning of the term you will have received a curriculum letter from your child's class teacher. This provides you with everything that you need to know for the term ahead. What the children will be learning, which topics they will be covering and any special events that will be taking place.

We believe that pupils, parents and teachers need clear guidance on what is expected at each stage of the Broadford Primary voyage. We believe that we should support parents in helping extend their child's learning at home. We believe that by working in partnership, our children will be able to achieve and exceed our high expectations.

The pupil passport informs pupils and parents of key end of year expectations in the areas where parents will be able to have the greatest impact supporting their child. Now you know the destination and have the support you need, get ready to enjoy the journey.

Later in the year you will be invited back into school to discuss your child's progress on their learning journey. We will provide you with a mid-year review which will indicate whether your child is behind, on track or ahead of the journey to meeting the end of year expectations for the specified curriculum objectives.

We believe it is vital for parents to be regularly updated on their child's progress. We believe this information helps parents support and challenge their children more effectively.

If you want to go fast, go alone. 

If you want to go far, go together.
