Miss Crawford’s Half Marathon for OKMT
Hi Everyone,
In early September, I will be running the London Big Half Marathon to raise money for the Otakar Kraus Music Trust (OKMT). The OKMT provides music therapy and music projects for people of all ages in and around the London Borough of Richmond. They also run the OKMT Music School, providing specially adapted music lessons for children and young people with additional needs. The OKMT is a charity very close to my heart. I am a qualified music therapist as well as a music teacher and have worked for the charity for a number of years now. Any donations in support of my efforts and more importantly that of the charity will be greatly appreciated. Click Here to Donate
Thank you and wish me luck!!

Important Clubs News
A couple of updates on the clubs programme for September 2024. Sadly, due to lack of numbers, gymnastics club, girls football club and Thursday art club (Y1/2), will not be running. However, we do have some rather exciting news in that we have enlisted an external company for our cookery club offering. We have some children signed up for the sessions already, however there is space for any newcomers. Please see below posters for more details, please contact Mrs Crocker on admin@broomfieldhouse.com to book. If anyone has forgotten to book for the autumn term please let Mrs Crocker know and she can organise this for you on the SOCS portal.
We also have the popular Technokids and Inventors Clubs running in autumn term, please see below for more information on these exciting clubs:

Reminder for Drop Off at School
A reminder to parents that all children must stay on the top patch with parents until the bell is rang at 8:30am. Parents should not leave their children unsupervised or allow them to go to the bottom patch or any other part of school until 8:30am or unless a teacher is with them. Please can we also not park by blocking the gate of our neighbour at 6 The Coach House (image below) as she has been blocked in three times in the last two weeks. Below is a picture of her gate. Thank you all for your understanding.
Y6 Awards Ceremony
We are excited for our Year 6 Awards ceremony this year. We have a very special guest attending to speak with the children and help present their awards. The Y6 Awards ceremony will take place on Tuesday 9th July. The event will start at 9am and run until 10:20am. Parents should enter via the Princes Road gate at 8:55am and take their seats on the bottom patch. Please ensure that the children arrive at school at 8:30am in full school uniform including blazers and school hats (boaters or caps – not red baseball caps).
Y6 BBQ – 9th July
The Year 6 children will also have their Year 6 BBQ evening in school on Tuesday 9th July. This lovely event is a fun way for the children to relax and enjoy their last few days at Broomfield. It will start at 6pm and will run until 7:30pm. Children can be dropped and collected from the Princes Road gate.

Bravo to all involved for making this year’s senior play a resounding success!
Videos and photos to follow next week.
We had so much fun on Thursday! Children gathered in the playground for our annual Den Day. The challenge was to design and construct dens using a variety of materials, and our children rose to the occasion with great team spirit. Despite rather windy weather conditions, the children collaboratively built impressive structures. Well done all!
The Year 5 children did themselves proud in a fantastic display for their Spanish fashion show. They had obviously put much time and effort into preparing and learning their descriptions of each other and it was great to see them using the Spanish which they have learnt with such confidence.
Year 6 enjoyed a trip to the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond on Friday 28th June 2024 to see an entertaining and interactive version of Hamlet.
After their workshop, which had previously taken place at school, the children were keen to see the play, which ended with a culmination of “what ifs” from the actors and the audience. What if Hamlet and Ophelia had stayed together? What if Queen Gertrude had not married Claudius? We will never know…
And the countdown has started! This is the last weekend to complete the Eco Trail before we select 10 lucky winners who will receive a Koala soft toy next week. 🙂 Drop off your completed Eco Trail map in the post box in front of the main school entrance by next Monday 8th July.
Send us your photos from the Eco Trail to news@broomfieldhouse.com for inclusion in the end of term newsletter next week.

Thanks to all Broomfield families for your generous donations to our local food bank. We also continued our tradition of our harvest boxes, which were delivered by our Year 6 children, staff and parent volunteers to the elderly in our local area. It was a heartwarming event, reminding us of the value of kindness and generosity during this season of harvest.

Last week Thursday, Year 4 enjoyed a fun trip to Wimbledon Watersports. The sun was shining and everyone had a great day on the water, learning to sail and playing games in the kayaks. Despite the cold water, a number of children even jumped into the lake at the end of the day!

What a year we have had! Year 6 children are celebrating their amazing journey at Broomfield House School. Awards were received, tears were shed, and hugs were shared with family and friends at today’s Award Ceremony. We are proud of every child for contributing to school life with such enthusiasm and kindness over the years.
After the awards presentation, we had the honour of welcoming Chris Sheasby, a true rugby legend, who delivered an inspiring speech about the importance of friendship. With a stellar academic background from Radley College and the University of Cambridge, Chris excelled both academically and athletically. His distinguished rugby career saw him play No. 8 for top clubs like Wasps, Harlequins, and London Irish. A standout moment was starting in the 2002 Powergen Cup Final at Twickenham, leading London Irish to victory over Northampton Saints. On the international stage, Chris earned seven caps for England, making a memorable debut with a try against Italy.
Thanks to Chris Sheasby for taking the time to visit us and thanks to all families who celebrated with us today! It was a really special event for the children.
