Summer Serenade Instrumental concerts

We warmly invite parents to attend our Summer Serenade Instrumental Concerts taking place in the next couple of weeks. This is a wonderful opportunity for our Broomfield children who receive instrumental tuition either at school or externally to perform for you all.

There will be a Lower School concert and a Senior School concert for children who play an instrument or have singing lessons. The Lower School Summer Serenade will include children from Years 1-3 and will take place on Tuesday 13th May at 6pm – 7:15pm. The Senior School Serenade will include Years  4- 6 and takes place on Tuesday 20^th May at 5:45pm -7:30pm.

As the programme for the Lower School Summer Serenade will be finalised next week, it is especially important for parents of children who have lessons outside Broomfield, to let me know via email the instrument, the name of the piece and the composer their child would like to perform. Please provide this information by Wednesday 7^th May at the latest.

Broomfield music teachers will pass on to me their pupils’ performance information directly.

If you wish for your child to take part or if you have any questions, please email ifourie@broomfieldhouse.com.

A reminder, on Wednesday 21st May 2025, we will be visited by the award winning, popular children’s poet Rachel Piercey for exciting readings and performances from the latest books in her Brown Bear Wood series.

Please bring your child’s bike to school on the morning of Monday 12th May at 8:15am via the Princes Road vehicle gate and leave by the wall (Lukasz will be there to guide you). The bikes will be securely stored overnight at school and should be taken home at the end of school on Friday. Children should wear their sports kit for the entire week and bring a water bottle with them as well as their helmets. High-vis vests will be given to the children for their training.
