Nurturing each individual, growing loving relationships in harmony with nature I lift my eyes up to the fells — w here does my help come from? About us Nestled between the fells, our school is a joyful, nurturing place where children grow, explore, and thrive.
At Broughton, we believe in nurturing each individual, growing loving relationships, in harmony with nature — and you'll see that vision woven into everything we do. From our vibrant nursery to our adventurous Year 6s, every child is celebrated for who they are and supported to become who they're meant to be.
We're proud of our strong community spirit, our creative curriculum, and the way our values — Love, Respect, Kindness, Trust, Protect, Hope, Faith, and Perseverance — shape daily life. Whether you're a new parent, a curious visitor, or a long-standing friend of the school, we invite you to explore what makes Broughton special.
