Dear Parents and Pupils,

Gifts for Aged Enfield

Last Friday, we participated in Save the Children’sChristmas Jumper Day event. We raised £401.84 on the day. We thank our pupils and staff for their generosity.

Our pupils, parents and staff have been donating Christmas gifts of chocolates, biscuits, scented candles, gift soaps and such like for the elderly. We were delighted to provide such a magnificent collection of gifts to bring a little extra Christmas cheer into the lives of so many this year. We thank you for your generosity.

We break up for the Christmas holidays at 12.30 pm on Thursday 21st December. There has been much hard work and excellent progress this term and, on behalf of the staff and pupils of the school, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The new term begins on Wednesday 3rd January, 2017 at the usual time of 8.30 am. We look forward to seeing all of our pupils arrive on time and in full school uniform, refreshed and full of enthusiasm ready to start the new term.

Year 7 and Year 9 ChangesWe are pleased to say that Broomfield is growing and this means that we have needed to review our timetables and Form classes. This means that in Year 7 and 9 we are introducing new form classes from January and pupils will be told their new form on their return to school. We have tried to keep the timetable changes to a minimum however your child may have different teachers for some lessons in KS3. Please check your child's new timetable as they now have new times for PE.

Christmas Reading from Mr NicholsonChristmas is a special time of year for many reasons: spending time with family and friends, eating lots of delicious food and enjoying the relaxation earned after a long term working hard at school. But, for me, one of the most special things about Christmas is the extra time I have to read. Once the mince pies and roastdinner have settled, I will be burrowing myself away and digging into a magical, inspirational and engrossing piece of literature. What bliss!

If you’re unsure of how to spend that extra money you might find at the bottom of your stocking, or are passing your local library and wondering what might enrich your lives this holiday, here are a few suggestions of festive reading and some recent releases for you to sink your teeth into. Happy Christmas reading! The Bane Chronicles, by Cassandra Clare
