Parent Council and FAB AGM- Minutes-25th August 2021
Thank you.
It’s our birthday!
125 years ago today, Broughton Primary School opened it’s doors for the first time!
Look out for a range of ‘125’ themed activities in school and home learning over the course of this year to mark our 125th birthday!
We have obtained a loan of some of the original record books that headteachers had to fill in each day back in 1896. Here are the pages for this day in 1896.
We hope to be able to display some artefacts of Broughton Primary School over it’s 125 year history, so if you have any photos or items of interest from Broughton’s history you would be willing to share with us, please let us know!
Good afternoon everyone,
Please see below for the latest Head Teacher newsletter from Ms. Gowans.
We will also be sharing ‘Meet the Teacher’ presentations on each class page tomorrow, Thursday 2nd September.
This term’s Building Resilience block is called ‘Be Resilient.’
In this unit, we will be learning that:
• Everyone goes through ups and downs in their life
• We can learn to be more resilient
• Resilient people cope better with difficulties
Please see below the Parent and Carer leaflet for this unit, and the Family Home Learning Task.
Good luck!

Hello everyone, and welcome back to school! We’d also like to welcome any new pupils to our school, including our new P1s!
We hope you all had a great summer holiday, and are feeling ready for a new session of learning.
It’s been lovely to see everyone again, and we are loving how smart everyone looks in their school uniform. How some of our pupils have grown!
This year we hope to be able to return to as many ‘normal’ school activities as possible- we’ll make you aware of any changes as we are informed about them.
We hope everyone has a hard working year, and remember, do your best!
Well, it’s finally here, the last day of term!
It’s been another challenging year for us all, but we have all worked together to try to provide safety, security and comfort to each other, as new challenges were faced.
To our P7 pupils- we have been so proud of all you have managed to achieve this year, and your new high schools are lucky to have such talented, hard-working and creative young people starting after the holiday! We’re sorry your year hasn’t ended as we expected it to, but are glad you got to celebrate together at your barbecue this week- we will miss you all very much, and wish you all the very best for the future!
In the absence of an end of term assembly, we weren’t able today to share our end of year House Points totals.
So, it’s a huge well done to…Trinity house! You have won the house shield this year! Here are the final totals-
1st Trinity- 10744 pts
2nd Pilrig– 10036 pts
3rd McDonald– 9939 pts
4th Drummond- 9688 pts
We hope you all have a safe, restful summer break. We really are a brilliant team- from our wonderful children, to our fantastic staff team and supportive parents and carers. Take care, let’s hope we have lots of sunshine, and we look forward to seeing you all again on Wednesday 18th August! Happy holidays everyone!
Good afternoon everyone,

Last night we were able to hold our P7 Leavers’ Barbecue over in our Botanical Broughton green space.
Mrs Rushforth was head chef, and there was plenty of yummy food and drinks for all. Our P7s had a lovely time eating and drinking, chatting, playing games and chilling out in their respective bubbles!
We feel very lucky to have been able to have an event like this, given the unusual year we have all had- we hope our P7s enjoyed this chance to spend some quality time with their friends.
Here are some photos we took last night-
Please see below a Welcome letter, and a link to follow to find some tips, activities and links for parents of pupils starting P1 in August 2021. We hope you find them useful!
