    Picked up a copy of ‘Inside Broughton High School’ at Septemberfest. What a great idea to show some of the school’s achievements and what a fantastic event!

    Hi, I’m interested to get involved with parent council to know the school more and be voice of the parents and be involved in volunteering where possible. My daughter joined BH this year and is in S1. Thanks
