I am pleased to let you know that Broadbent Fold have come 3rd in Tameside this year’s Summer Reading Challenge! Congratulations! Find our certificate of achievement attached.

We are very grateful for your help in making this year’s Challenge such a success. Especially Miss Harvey our English Leader for promoting. Well done everyone. 


Gold Award Winners for our Green Tree Award

The Green Tree Schools Award is a Woodland Trust programme that rewards schools for completing environmental activities. At Broadbent Fold we provided the evidence for “Celebrate Extraordinary Trees”, “Connect Pupils with Nature”, “Improve Wellbeing in School” and, “Platinum Projects – A Woodland Perspective”. We are now working on our Platinum with Inside Out Forest School and our amazing staff and pupils. If any families want to help with our projects, please reach out to school.  


Apple picking time!

Today we had the joy of picking apples from our school grounds. Our Eco-Leaders then chopped these up and handed to our pupils. I think our plan next is to bake a crumble! 


Our New Basketball Nets

Check out our new basketball nets. Our Sports Leaders requested new equipment for basketball based on our visit from Coach Cameron at Tameside Vikings. They are loving breaktime skills developing dribbling, defending and a few spin moves! 


Staff Training - Orienteering

Our teachers have had training with the British Orienteering association today. Orienteering is an exciting outdoor adventure sport that exercises mind and body. The aim is to navigate between checkpoints or controls marked on a special orienteering map. There is no set route so the skill and fun come from trying to find the best way to go! In competitive orienteering, the challenge is to complete the course in the quickest time.
