Welcome, from the Chair of Governors
Children, Parents and Staff

I would like to quickly introduce myself and say how I am proud to be your Chair of Governors. From every visit to the school I have undertaken, it is clear to see that the children here work very hard, enjoy their time at school and are a pleasure to work with.

If you have any comments, questions or concerns that you would like to share, please feel free to contact the relevant member of staff in the school as I do know that staff at Broadacre work hard to be proactive and approachable to all children and parents. If you would like to contact me please feel free to email me at admin@broadacre.het.academy
