Welcome to the Governors’ page. School Governors have general responsibility to parents and the Department for Education (DFE). They support effective leadership of the school, acting within the framework set by national legislation and policies.
All Governors have volunteered to work and support Broadfield Academy and come from a range of backgrounds. They bring a variety of skills and knowledge to ensure that the school is continuously improving.
Governors help to decide school policy and share responsibility for the leadership of the school. They advise and support the Principal and staff, working with the school to meet the needs of the children whilst ensuring that all school policies and procedures are in place. They act as a link between the school and the community. Governors receive regular training, updates and support from Aspire Trust.
Whilst the Governing Body lead in particular areas, they are all expected to have knowledge of all areas to support the school. The full Local Advisory Board (LAB) meet 6 times a year. In addition, each Governor will make additional visits to the school for their lead aspects, to visit their classes, to support school events and to attend any meetings with the Academy.
If you would like to contact one of our a Governors, please speak to the school office.
If you are interested in becoming a Governor, please contact the school office to find out if there are any vacancies.

We finish school tonight (Friday 28th May) at normal time and return to school on Monday 7th June for both staff and pupils. We hope you have a lovely relaxing break and the sun finally shines. Happy Half Term!!!
The school photographer will be in school on Thursday 6th May 2021 to take class group photographs, hopefully if the weather is nice these can be taken outside. If your child is due to have PE that day, please send them in school uniform and the will do a different PE based activity. If your child attends after school sports club, football, karate or dance, then please come to school in uniform and send PE kit in bag to change at end of the day.
Just a reminder that Monday 3rd May 2021 is Bank Holiday Monday so the school will be closed to staff and pupils. We look forward to seeing everyone back in school on Tuesday 4th May.
We did it, we made it to the end of the term! The demands of this term have been like no other. We have never had a three-week term before, and it feels like a full term has taken place. Pupils and teachers have worked so hard since our return and are all ready for the Easter break. It has been absolutely amazing to have our children back. Pupils are where they should be – in school learning! The term has flown by and school life has been busy. The buzz of school life brings joy and happiness to all. As ...
If your child tests positive for corona virus (COVID-19) at any point during the Easter break, please notify Aspire Academies Trust as soon as possible, so they can complete the relevant track and trace process with Public Health England and notify any other children or staff who have been in close contact and who may need to self-isolate.
During the holidays, please contact covidcases@aspireacademies.org.uk. This will only be monitored until Sunday 11 April 2021.

It is great news to know that all our children will be returning to school on Monday 8th March as set out by the Prime Minister. We are still working on our return to school plan and this will be sent out via email next week once we have checked it thoroughly to ensure we have everything in place to keep all our children, parents and staff safe. We look forward to seeing you soon.
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.
I can confirm Broadfield Academy will now provide education ...
