Our pupils enjoyed a thrilling trip to the British Library to explore the ‘Secret Maps’ exhibition. It was far from a standard geography lesson! The children discovered how maps have been used to hide secrets and share stories throughout history.

They saw everything from ancient medieval charts to complex routes used by famous shipping companies. The highlight for many was a clever silk map hidden on a pair of WWII knickers—designed to help pilots escape if they were captured!

As one pupil put it: ‘I never knew maps could be so interesting!’

Huge congratulations to our Year 5s for completing their English Speaking Board (ESB) assessments this week.

The examiner was very impressed with their hard work and confidence. Every pupil spoke clearly and represented Saracens Broadfields perfectly. Public speaking can be nerve-racking, but our pupils showed great confidence and skill.

We are so proud of your achievements! Thank you to the teachers and parents for supporting the children during their preparation.

On 1st October Broadfields Primary School joined Saracens Multi-Academy Trust and became Saracens Broadfields.

We continue to be the same fantastic school we were before: the same fantastic teachers and children and lessons and fields and community. We now just have a bigger famiy and a new set of values.

Our new cousins are Saracens High School in Colindale and Saracens Bell Lane in Hendon. Our aunty and uncle are Saracens Rugby Club and Saracens Multi-Academy Trust.

And everyone in our family shares the same values: discipline, hard work, honesty and humility.

We had so much fun at our launch party: our choir sang, the Mayor of Barnet cut the ribbon, Mr Archibald and Ms Keane shared a very official looking handshake and we had a massive street party with music to dance to and delicious food to eat!
