Broomfields Junior School

Welcome to Broomfields Junior School

On behalf of all the staff, pupils and Governors can I wish you a warm welcome to Broomfields Junior School's website and Virtual Learning Environment. We hope you find our VLE informative and that it gives you an insight into life at our school.

Here at Broomfields we are committed to providing the best educational experience for all of our pupils. The focus in our school is on giving all pupils the opportunity to achieve their full potential. This means providing exciting lessons so they make the best progress they can in their studies but also providing guidance and support so they can develop as happy, well balanced individuals who can make the right decisions for themselves.

Headteacher

Fireworks Spectacular and fairground Saturday 9th November

Come and join us for our annual Firework display on Saturday 9th November.

Gates open at 6pm. Firework display at 7.30pm.

Advanced tickets: £4 per peron available from the School Office until Friday 8th November.

Pay on the gate: £5 per person. Gates close at 7.25pm.

Attendance and punctuality

Attendance in school is very important. School opens at 8.40am every monring and the gates close for registration at 8.50am. Our aim is for all children to achieve as close to 100% attendance as possible. We need your support for this to happen. Please ensure that you are clear as to when our holidays are, so that you can plan holidays in the correct time.

Did you know?

5 minutes late every day means around 3 days of education are missed.

A score of 90% in a test would be a good result, but 90% attendance means that a child will have missed around 100 lessons over a school year.
