Above all else however, we are proud that our

day.

Our School Motto: ‘Children First’
Broadway Primary School
Our Exciting Curriculum
At Broadway Primary School we believe that the curriculum
should be active, fun and engaging. Our teachers share a
common philosophy towards education and strive to provide
learning activities which are interactive and ‘hands on’.
Teachers at Broadway have high expectations of the children
and support them to achieve their full potential.
During our morning sessions, a strong emphasis is placed on
the development of key literacy and numeracy skills. Maths is
skilfully taught across the school and children leave us at the
age of eleven with a good understanding of key mathematical
concepts. The school also achieves high standards in reading
and writing. At Broadway we particularly encourage children to
take great pride in their written work.
During the afternoon we focus on the wider curriculum. Each
class enjoys a new topic each half term which is planned to
capture their interest whilst giving them a good understanding
of the key skills required across the curriculum in ICT, History,
Geography, Science, Religion, Art, Technology and Personal,
Social and Health Education. Topics are taught with a cross
curricular approach and teachers aim to include a
visitor to the school to enhance
the learning or a school trip each
half term.

Being Active and Healthy
Broadway Primary has been awarded ‘Healthy School’ status
for our commitment to helping the children to develop a
healthy lifestyle. Encouraging children to engage in sport is
very important to us. We also have excellent links with our
local high school which enables us to use the sports facilities
usually enjoyed by secondary school children.
The school also offers outdoor and adventurous activities to
our Year 6 children. Each year we organise a residential holiday
for our older children which gives them the opportunity to join
in with more extreme sports such as abseiling, canoeing and
rock climbing.
The importance of leading a healthy lifestyle is taught through
our well developed curriculum for Personal, Social and Health
Education. The school has achieved recognition for the work
we do in this area.

Thinking of Others
At Broadway we encourage the children to think about others.
Behaviour at Broadway is outstanding and our positive
behaviour policy encourages children to think about how their
behaviour impacts upon others. All members of our school
community show respect for each other.
Charity work is an important part of school life at Broadway.
We regularly organise activities to raise money for charities in
the local area and overseas in order to help our children to
understand the importance of thinking of others. We have
raised money for ‘Guide Dogs for the Blind’, ‘Hearing Dogs for
the Deaf’ and once bought an entire farmyard of animals for an
African Village!
During the school year we hold a number of events to which
we invite parents, carers and grandparents. Our Christmas
performances are always popular . Throughout the year,
classes take turns to lead a parents’ assembly during which
they show the school community what they have been
learning in class. Parents are always welcome at our Harvest
Service and there is also a special day at Christmas time on
which we invite grandparents and senior citizens in for a coffee
afternoon. By organising these events we aim to teach our
children the importance of community.

Find Your Talent!
At Broadway we aim to provide as many opportunities for each
child to find their talent. This happens everyday in our
classrooms as teachers work hard to ensure that pupils of all
abilities achieve their potential.
Outside of the classroom we are particularly proud of our
music provision at Broadway. Our school orchestra is open to
any child who shows a desire to learn music and a talent for
performing. They play each day in assembly and attend musical
events in the local area. They show off their talents each year
in our annual ‘Musical Evening’, along with all children who
learn an instrument at Broadway. Lessons are available for
children to learn a variety of instruments including keyboard,
violin, clarinet and flute.

Admission to the School
The age at which children may be admitted to the school is determined
by the local authority and all children who have attained their 4th
birthday by the 31st August may be admitted to the school at the
beginning of the Autumn term that year.
In order to register your request for a place in any primary school you
need to visit www.lancashire.gov.uk and search for primary school
admissions.
Where the number of requests for admission exceeds the number of
places available, the Local authority will determine individual allocations
based on the following criteria,
(i) Whether the pupil already has a sibling at the school
(ii) The nature of any social, medical or welfare needs
(iii) The distance the pupil lives from the school
In July prior to your child starting school, you will be invited to bring
your child along to our Busy Bee sessions. This is your child’s opportunity
to come into the reception classroom to meet their new classmates and
all of the staff.

Pupil Attendance
Reporting Absence
• As soon as a parent knows their child is to be absent, they should
inform school by phone or via the school app, stating the reason for
absence and how long the child will be absent for. This call should be
made by 9.15am on the first day of absence. If this call is not received,
the school will try and make contact with the family concerned.
Absence can also be reported via the school app.
• When the child returns to school they should have a note written in
their planner to the class teacher detailing the reason for absence.
Medical Appointments
Wherever possible dental and medical appointments should be made
outside school hours. If this is not possible, parents will be
required to provide either a letter or an appointment card for school
records.
Children leaving/returning to school
• If it is necessary for a child to leave school during the day parents
should inform the school in advance. When the child is due to leave
school they must be collected by an adult from the school office.
• When a child returns to school during the school day the responsible
adult must inform the school office. This information is essential in
case of a fire.
Special Occasions
• There may be times when a child needs to be absent for special
occasions such as a religious festival, music examination or to perform
at a sporting event. Permission for this must be given via the leave of
absence form available from the school office.
Please support the school attendance policy – children can only learn
effectively when they attend school regularly
Please be aware that an absence request in term time can only be
authorised under exceptional circumstances. A family holiday will not
be authorised.

BRINGING MONEY INTO SCHOOL

Dinner Money is currently £11.50 weekly. Dinner money need to be paid directly into
the school bank account. Children who are in the infant department (Reception to Y2

scheme.
• Payment Day for School Dinners:
Please ensure that all dinner money is paid into the bank on Monday in advance of the
week ahead.
School trips and payment to Busy Bee’s Club can be made online.
CAR PARKING AND ROAD SAFETY
Road Safety is a major concern in the area around our school. If you have to drive to
school, please make sure that you park legally and with due consideration for our
neighbours. In addition, the school car park is for staff only and it should NEVER be used
as a place to turn round or drop off children.
PUPIL MEDICATION
Children should not bring any medication into school, unless by prior arrangement. If
prescription medication is needed on an ongoing basis, or is required for a short term,
speak to the staff in the school office who will ask you to fill out a medicine form.
HOMEWORK
The homework for each year will be planned and given by the class teacher. In addition
to our regular tasks, we use Topic Homework Grids. The children choose which
homework activities they wish to complete from the selection available on the grid.
This allows parents to be more actively involved in their child’s learning. Homework
grids are handed out every half term, however regular checks are carried out by the
teachers to ensure that homework is being completed.
COMMUNICATION
The majority of communication with parents is made via the school website, school app
and by text message. It is important that parents download the school app as soon as
possible and register their details. The user name for the app is Broadway and the pass-
word is Parent. Please allow push notifications when you register as this is also another
way we can contact you. Every Friday our weekly newsletter is posted on the website
and school app with events that are happening in school.
