Welcome to Broomhill
Infant School
A school where children
come first!
The early years of schooling lay the foundations that
individuals will build on for the rest of their lives. At
Broomhill Infant school we believe that the best
foundations are achieved through building a successful
partnership with parents and carers right from the
beginning. We welcome you to work with us in providing
the very best education for each and every one of our
children.
In the early years children acquire lots of new skills,
both academic and social. With our support we aim for
them to become active, independent learners with an
enthusiasm for knowledge that will stay with them as they
progress through life.
At Broomhill Infants we have an environment that is
conducive to learning. The school grounds include an
orchard and a pond where pupils can study nature and
participate in conservation work. The school has recently
been awarded the bronze Eco Schools standard and we are
currently working towards a silver award. Inside the
school, displays of children’s work are used to
create a vibrant and stimulating environment that both
stimulates and inspires young learners.
The staff at Broomhill Infants recognise and value the
contribution that they can make to individual
children’s development. The school is committed to
providing opportunities for all staff to develop
professionally. This ensures that they are ready to take
on new educational challenges and provide an education
that responds to the ever changing needs of a child
growing up in the 21st century. Every pupil, from Nursery
to Year 2, is encouraged to achieve to the best of their
potential and success, however small, is celebrated.
As I mentioned in an earlier paragraph, we value our
partnership with you highly, as we recognise that for a
child to succeed in any area, both home and school must
be working in close collaboration. During the school year
there are termly opportunities for you to meet with the
class teacher to discuss your child’s progress and
reports are written annually. Parents and carers are also
warmly welcomed into school on a regular basis for class
assemblies, celebrations and performances.
Assistance in the classroom is always appreciated. A
Parents’ Working Party meets weekly and provides
invaluable help to staff by making resources to be used
in the classroom. The parent governors hold forums where
parents or carers can ask questions or find out more
information about the school.
We aim to provide a rich and broad curriculum for our
children. Our community links are an important part of
this balanced, educational provision. Children regularly
have opportunities to visit the local shops or library
and we warmly welcome visitors, such as the community
policeman, into school to share their experiences with
the children. The school frequently hosts theatre groups,
musicians and entertainers from a wide range of different
cultures to promote different aspects of topic work.
I hope you find this website useful and informative. If,
after visiting it, you have further questions please do
not hesitate to contact the school. Visits by prospective
parents or cares are warmly welcomed. Please contact the
school office to arrange an appointment.
I look forward to meeting you and trust that your
child’s time at Broomhill Infants will be enjoyable
and rewarding.
