Hello and welcome to Broomwood Primary School

I was appointed as headteacher of Broomwood Primary School ten years ago in 1998. It is a good time, therefore, to reflect upon the decade and highlight significant changes made during this period.

The school itself has been updated and refurbished with new entrance hall, reception area, staffroom, school library and Headteacher’s Office. After fifty four years the school kitchen has just been replaced and we are pleased to open our new kitchen this term. The meals are healthy, nutritious and excellent value for money. The windows to many rooms have been replaced and our reception classroom now has a door to enable the children to have direct access to their play area. Each classroom has an interactive whiteboard installed as a permanent teaching tool.

The school grounds have been transformed. There are three distinct play areas for foundation Stage, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two children. Each area has been carefully planned to maximise social and emotional learning opportunities. A Children’s Centre was added to the school in September 2007 and this has dramatically improved opportunities for pre school children and parents to have easy access to a wide range of support in preparation for start to school life.

Our recent Ofsted inspection confirmed the fact that teaching and care at the school is “Outstanding”. This has been achieved by the recruitment of excellent teachers and a rigorous and consistent approach to school improvement. The Curriculum has been sculpted to suit our children’s needs and it is constantly reviewed and revised. Changes are brought in with meticulous attention to detail, timing and after consultation.

Whilst I could talk at length about our Extended School provision i.e. the Breakfast Club, Broomwood Bear’s Afterschool and Holiday Club and the close links we have with our community I will leave you, the reader, chance to browse the other pages of our site for further information about what have become well established facilities.

Our most treasured change is the increasing interest our parents are showing in their child’s education and in the school itself. With this we can conquer the world.

I love to show interested people around the school and so please contact me for an appointment to view.
