Friday 14 November 2025 Sewing Bee at Broughton During Sewing Bee, we have been busy (bees) making poppies for Remembrance Day. You may have seen us wearing a white poppy, which is remembrance of all victims of war, challenging war and militarism, and a commitment to peace. You may have seen the purple poppy which is worn to remember animals that have been victims of war. Animals like horses, dogs and pigeons were often drafted into the war effort, and those that wear the purple poppy feel their service should be seen as equal to that of human service. In particular, many horses were killed or injured in World War One.

Friday 7 November 2025 Preston League Football - Year 8 Boys On Thursday evening, 6th November, the Year 8 team took on Corpus in a Preston League match. Fresh off the back of two big wins before half-term, the boys were full of confidence heading into this one. However, a slip at the back allowed Corpus to take a 1-0 lead early on. This appeared to spark the boys into action, and it was soon turned around into a 4-1 lead at half-time. A slow start to the second half saw the lead be clawed back by Corpus, with Broughton leading 5-4 after the first 10 minutes of the half. However, some great teamwork, passing and effort saw the boys run out 7-4 winners. Another great win - well done!
