At Broughton we have an active Parent/Teacher Association known as FOBIS.
The committee comprises of parents and teachers who work together to raise funds for the school in order to provide the extra items that we could not otherwise afford.
Throughout the year a number of activities are organised for children and parents.
Please see the newsletters below for more information
We are extremely grateful for all the hard work the committee undertake each year.
The FOBIS AGM takes place once a year. If you would like to join the committee and help the school please contact Mrs Williams.
Community Links
The school has strong links with the local community. These links are constantly being developed and include visits from the school doctor, dentist, local policeman, church leaders, neighbourhood schools, various local community organisations and businesses. At times during the year the children entertain groups of elderly people from the neighbourhood.
Parental Help
Parents who wish to help in school are very welcome. Parents may just wish to help out generally in a classroom or specialise in a particular subject area. The school has a Parental help Policy which acts as a guideline for parents helping in school.

NEWSLETTER Tuesday 18th May 2010
Spring Fayre A very big thank you to everyone who supported us at the Fayre on Saturday. The money raised was around £1,800 !! A very big success and we couldn't have done it without all your kind donations and support. If you brought cakes in on plates or in tins, please collect them from the front office by Wednesday after school or they will be disposed of. Walk to school breakfast - Wednesday 26th May As part of the walk to school week, FOBIS will be organising breakfast for the children as a reward for their good efforts walking. We would like to suggest a 50p contribution towards this and would be grateful if you could fill in the form below if your child is interested. Quiz Night Cancelled - Friday 18th June Unfortunately we have made the decision to cancel the Quiz Night. We know it won't affect some of you, but it falls in the middle of the World Cup Football and will affect numbers attending drastically.
Walk to School Breakfast - Wednesday 26th May 2010 I would like my child/ren to have breakfast on Wednesday 26th May. Name ……………………………………………….. Class ……………….. Name ………………..……………………………… Class ……………….. Parent/Carer Signature ……………………………………… Date……………..
