Brunch with Mrs P

These superstars have remained on green all this half term. This means they have followed our school values being ready, respectful and safe every day. A big thank you to them for their hard work. They were chosen to have a yummy brunch with donuts, cakes, crisps and pop. They stuffed their faces and played some great tunes to listen to - Micheal Jackson's Bad was the favourite - they are certainly not bad! 


Our new sensory room...The Cosy Cave.

The name of the new sensory room is...The Cosy Cave. As voted and created by our pupils. We are having a special sign created for this. The old computing room in KS2 has been cleared of all IT equipment, repainted and new furniture and resources have been purchased to make a calming space. We just wanted send an enormous thank you to our community your generosity developing our new sensory room. We also want to thank Lifeline4Kids, who also donated to the room, which again is fantastic.


Careers Fair

This week is Careers Week at Broadbent Fold. We have engineers, a Team GB athlete, a sports journalist, scientists and designers attending our school to inspire our pupils to a world of employment. We held a careers fair and pupils had the opportunity to ask questions to our visitors. A big thank you to the magistrates, mental health practitioner, GMP, Findel Education, Ashton Sixth Form and the Director of Sports from the Stamford Park Trust. It was a fantastic morning and our pupils fully engaged with all the information to help them with their own future.  


Year 4 Writing

Year 4 wrote Mrs Parker lots of letters to presuade her (or not) to climb a mountain and raise monies for school. She replied to every letter and commented on how excellent they are were. She would love to climb a mountain, aslong as year 4 joined her! 


Primary Engineer Shortlist

Our superb year 3 pupil Harry has been shortlisted from all schools in the UK for his engineering design. We also received a special award as a school for our entries, led by Mrs Higham our science leader. Just brilliant achievements. Well done Harry, an engineer in the making. 


Careers Week at BBF

Our school curriculum ensures it gets our children ready for a future in employment. This week we look closely at the jobs in Greater Manchester and beyond. We have lots planned and many visitors. 


Mental Health Week

Today our Wellbeing Leader Jorge and our Mental Health Practitioner Nechen visited every member of staff and provided them with '25 ways to fill our cup'. Staff also got to choose from drinks, cakes and fruit as a special 'pick me up'.
