Dear Parents,
I’ll sure you’ll join with me to extend our very best wishes to Mrs Nicholls, the headteacher of our Federated school Broadford who is temporarily leaving us to have a baby. I will certainly miss her, but am pleased to advise that she is leaving the school and Federation in the very capable hands of Mr McLucas.
Parents’ Evening
Thank you to all of the parents who attended parents evening, we hope that you found the pupil passports informative and enjoyed the opportunity to meet the teachers. Thank you to those of you who completed the questionnaires, it was really pleasing to have such positive feedback.
