At Broadfield Academy, our parent association is called the “Broadfield School Association” or BSA for short. Our BSA members are a group of wonderful parents / carers who give their time to organise and run fun events for the school and community. Much of what they do involves raising money, so the school can purchase vital resources to help children be the best they can be! They not only raise money for the school, they support us with all school events and raising money for various charities.
If you would like to join our BSA, please contact our BSA Chair, Mr D Martin at:
bsa@broadfieldacademy.org.uk or dmartin@broadfieldacademy.org.uk
You do not have to be a member of our BSA to support school events. We appreciate all help.
A Message from the Chairman
Dear Parents
We are now only a few days away from the end of term, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all parents and members of the BSA for their help and support over this past year. Broadfest was a great day of fun and we raised approx. £1200, I feel the attendance this year was lower than last year, so members of the BSA and myself will make a decision in the next few months if we will do the same kind of event next year or we change things around and up with some new ideas. As you are aware school funding has been dramatically cut, so it is vital that our BSA events continue, with your continued support, to raise funds and profile within our community to encourage new student admissions. During the past twelve months we have put on various successful events which have raised money for the following – new chairs for the school library – two theatre productions for students to enjoy – new equipment for the school playground – walkie talkies, mega phones and parasols for the school. We have exciting new events booked for the new school year, information available on our web page on the main school website, which we hope will be as well supported as previous events. These events are run by volunteer parents/family members and without their valued support would not have been possible. A special thank you to Louise Longfils (treasurer) and Kirsti Nouch (secretary) for all their hard work and help. Myself, along with Louise and Kirsti will be continuing in our BSA roles next year. I would like to invite all parents and staff to our AGM which will be held on the 18th September at 4pm, as we have some positions available on our committee, plus we can discuss the year a head. Another date for the diary is race night, an adults only events on Friday 4th October 2019. We also have a Fireworks events planned for the 6th November but for this to go head we are looking for a local company to sponsor the event, for more details please email bsa@broadfieldacademy.org.uk On behalf of BSA, we would like to wish our year six students the best of luck in their new schools. We hope you all have a fantastic summer and thank you again for all your support.

**We are currently following Government guidelines regarding social distancing and hope to be able to arrange some fantastic events next academic year once it is safe to do so.**
As you are aware, there has been much speculation in the news relating to possible school closures and delaying the start of term for pupils. You may also be aware that unions have advised teachers to exercise their right to work remotely via a Section 44 letter on the grounds of health and safety at work. The Government have put Headteachers in a very difficult situation. Whilst we understand last minute decisions are not ideal, we are doing our very best to update you as soon as information is available to us.

Children can come to school wearing their Scouts, Guides, Brownies, Rainbows, or equivalent uniform on Remembrance Day.
If your child has PE on the same day, and they would normally come to school wearing one of the above uniforms, they should wear their PE kit. We know this is not ideal. However, we do have to limit the amount of changing in school for ...

On Friday 13th November 2020, Broadfield Academy will be supporting the Children in Need appeal. This year is very special because it marks their 40th year!
