Olympic News Update

How much of an idea have you got of what it takes to get the Olympics off the ground? Have you thought about how you transport a BMX starting gate? Do you know how many hangers it will take to equip the wardrobes in the athletes village.

Watch this short BBC clip to get a better grasp of the huge logistical task that the organisers face in order to be ready for the 27th July.

Festival singers make the paper!

At the recent Harold Hill Festival, our choir performed the opening act on the main stage. Singing four songs the children wowed the audience with their powerful and melodic voices.

If you didn't get a chance to see them live, check out our YouTube channel and watch the video footage.

This week the children featured in a Romford Recorder article about the event which attracted more than 2,000 people from the local area. A dedicated team of over 30 volunteers - led by our very own Mr Borrell - helped to raise almost £2,000. Well everyone... a great event that even the weather couldn't dampen.

At Broadford we have simple expectations for the children.

1. Turn up on time every day
2. Do your best in every lesson
3. Be kind and polite to everyone you meet
4. Take care of your own, and others, property

If you are here every day, then it makes it much more likely that you will make the progress you are capable of. The school as a whole has improved the attendance this year and raised it to over 94%... but we could all learn a lesson from these pupils who managed 100% for the latest half term!

Broadford Wins Sports Award

Sports Award from Drapers:
On Tuesday night (17th July) we had to attend Drapers Academy to collect an award for ‘Outstanding Achievement In Sport’. Presented by Tony Cottee, the trophy was to recognize the fantastic efforts of the children in all the competitions they have entered this year: netball, hockey, football and rugby! We are already looking forward to next year and furthering our relationship with the academy – who by then will be enjoying their new facilities.

Tony then gave a speech to the audience that focused on always having a strong sense of self belief... even when the odds seem stacked against you. For someone so small, making a career as a professional footballer was always going to be a challenge. However Tony spoke about how he used the dismissive attitude of his doubters to inspire him to try even harder.

At the end of the night he shared a poem, which reiterates this message:

You Can If You Think You Can!
If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will.
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But soon or late the man who wins,
Is the man who thinks he can.

 ~ C. W. Longenecker ~

Olympic Ticket Winners

Thanks to the Olympic organisers, we have been given tickets to a two Olympic events this summer. We felt that the most fitting way to choose the pupils who would go was to look at those who had managed 100% attendance throughout the entire year.

July 31st – Womens Football @ Wembley Stadium Team GB vs Brazil	September 4th – Paralympic Athletics @ Olympic Stadium
Myles Aygeman	David Sangojimni
Elsaf Zema	Sheryl Scott
