Broadfield primary school receives blessing after opening of new entrance

Many special guests attended the opening ceremony

The official cutting of the ribbon was carried out by Karen Roberts, which was followed by a special blessing by the Imam of Broadfield Mosque and was rounded off with songs sung by year 6 children.

The centre piece to the new entrance area is a unique, collaborative tile panel created by the children and Brighton based artist Angela Evans.

Co-headteacher Emma Eardley, who designed the new entrance, said:

“The main entrance to a school is the window and first impression parents and visitors have to our school. Therefore, we wanted our new entrance to reflect the ethos and climate of our school.”
