Broadoak Primary School

Home School Links

We understand the value of effective communication with parents and carers. To enable this, Broadoak Primary School uses a system called School Comms to share information by text and e-mail.

Please make sure any changes to your contact details are notified to the school office to allow us to keep in touch with you.

This can be done in person, by telephone on 0161 794 2326 or by email to broadoak.primaryschool@salford.gov.uk

 

If you need to contact the school urgently, please telephone the office as our email and text systems are not monitored constantly.
