Easter Camp 2025 

WORLD BOOK DAY 

We will be celebrating World Book Day on Friday 7th March. Children are welcome to come to school dressed as their favourite book characters for the day. Y2 will need to bring their PE kit for their scooter training in the afternoon.

INTERHOUSE SWIMMING GALA 

The Broomfield Inter-House Swimming Gala will be held at Teddington Swimming Pool on Wednesday 6th March at 1.30pm. Children from Years 4 – 6 will be swimming in one or more events. We recommend parking in local neighbouring roads as the car park is very small, leaving enough time for a short walk to the pool. Please send your child to school in their games kit with their swimsuits, goggles and a towel. Strictly no parents are allowed in the changing rooms at any time. Parents and all spectators will watch from the balcony.  Please remember that the spectator gallery spaces are limited to one spectator per child. 

The Gala is expected to finish by 3:15pm, when Mr Anstey will present the winning House Captain with the Inter-House Swimming Gala trophy. Your children will be ready for collection no later than 3:30pm; they will be dismissed by their class teachers from the reception area into the outside area. If you cannot collect your child from the pool, we will bring them back to school for dismissal. Please let the school office know if you child will be returning to school with the staff. All clubs will run as normal and any child taking part in a club will be taken back to school for it. Please do not stand in the reception area waiting for your child; this is a request from the Teddington pool management. Therefore, please wait outside. We look forward to seeing you all there.
