Broad Hinton Primary School

Dear all,
I can not believe that it is the end of the academic year already and this is my last news of the year. The year has flown by and we have achieved so many new things this year; fun packed themed weeks and days, very active and effective school council, brilliant trips and visitors to link in with the creative topic teaching, lots of fund raising for local and national charities, very successful cake stall and other Friends events and working more closely with the local community. As we evaluate our achievements this year as teaching staff and governors we all look forward to the new challenges ahead and hope for your continued support in these new ventures. Thank you again from all the teaching staff and governors.
Sainsbury’s and Tesco’s vouchers
Thank you to everyone who has donated vouchers from their shopping trips to school. We have been able to purchase with them the following; 2 Beebots and direction maps, writing slop, cursive handwriting aids and various PE equipment. Without this support we would not be able to buy the extras. Thank you again.
Eco Schools Project.
The Eco Schools team alongside the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, Carillion Health and Ridgeway Green team and past pupils have worked hard to put gather evidence and communicate our successes in the last 3 years to an external assessor. We are very proud to announce that we have gained the Green Flag status, the highest award possible for sustainability. Well done to everyone in the past years who has put in time and effort to make our school aware of environmental issues and put into place sustainable ways to save energy and travel safely.
We hope that you have all enjoyed the projects so far and we look forward to sharing in our projects in the future.
Well done to our School Council this year who have been organised, adventurous in their projects and generous in the contributions made to other charities.
The Broad Hinton’s Got Talent was fantastic. Everyone, pupils, teachers, governors and parents enjoyed watching and celebrating the talents we have in school.
The School Fete
A huge thank you to everyone who helped to make the school fete so successful: those who attended to make the day fun and enjoyable for everyone; those who donated items for stalls; and parents, children and staff who manned the stalls so efficiently. Early indications are that the fete raised over £1,000! Thank you everyone, without your support we would not be able to give our children the added extras they enjoy throughout the year.

If you didn’t get to buy a school tea-towel at the fete, decorated with the children’s self-portraits, you can still buy them from the school office for £2.50 each.
