Kelso - Scottish Borders

With a population of approx. 12, 000, the ancient Market Town of Kelso is located in the heart of the Scottish Borders , just over forty miles south of Edinburgh and seventy miles north of Newcastle.  Situated on the banks where the River Tweed meets the River Teviot, its picturesque cobbled market square is the ideal setting for the numerous examples of Georgian and Victorian Architecture which are overlooked by the ruins of Kelso Abbey, which dates from 1128. 


The town boasts a diverse array of unique, independent shops, pubs, cafes, hotels and restaurants and is the ideal location for any tourist or traveller, with Floors Castle only a few minutes away.


With a huge variety of clubs and organisations there are plenty of leisure activities for both the local community and visitors alike.  One of the highlights in July is the town's Civic Week.


The town's High School is located on Angraflat Road and was opened in November 2017.

Polite Notice

Lunchtime

Lunchtime at Broomlands Primary School Kelso

SNACKS AND SCHOOL MEALS

PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE A NUT-FREE SCHOOL DUE TO CHILDREN WITH SEVERE ALLERGIES - THIS INCLUDES NUTELLA PRODUCTS


As we are a health promoting school we encourage a healthy option for mid-morning snacks and lunches. We do not accept ‘fizzy’ drinks and glass bottles. Children are asked to bring a single healthy snack. Eating five fresh fruits and veg per day is hard for some children to achieve, but snack time provides them with an ideal opportunity. (Please do not send in cakes or sweets to share on your child’s birthday.) 


SCHOOL LUNCHES

School lunches are cooked on the premises. At present the price is £2.40 for a two-course lunch. Lunches can be ordered and paid for through ParentPay. 


Application forms for free meals for families in receipt of Income Support are available in school (or apply online by clicking here). (Family Credit already has a meals allowance built in).  All pupils from P1 - P4 are entitled to Free School Meals. From January 2022 all pupils in P1-P5 will be entitled to Free School Meals.  The SBC Primary School Menu can be viewed by clicking here. 


SUPERVISION

All children are supervised during lunchtime. Children who stay for lunch must remain within the school playground during the lunch break. 


THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER

We encourage all children to drink water during the day. We have two chilled-filtered water units which provide mains water for children to drink. Children are encouraged to bring a filled water bottle, with a sports top (in case of spills!), to school clearly labelled with their name. Water helps children to concentrate. If children concentrate well, they will learn more effectively.

School Uniform

Broomlands Primary School Uniform Blue Sweater

All uniform should be clearly named so that it can be easily identified if mislaid.


Pupils are actively encouraged to wear school uniform every day in line with Scottish Borders Council's School Dress Code. There is no doubt that wearing school uniform benefits the pupils.  


  • Giving pupils a pride in and sense of belonging to their school.
  • Increasing the school’s profile in the local community.
  • Preventing competition between pupils over expensive fashion wear and helping to prevent bullying and victimisation of others on the grounds of what they wear.
  • Improving security in school and on school trips, because it is easier to identify who is a pupil in the school
  • Differentiates between staff and pupils.
  • More convenient to parents.


GENERAL

Fashion trousers, jeans, leggings, sports and brand named clothes are not part of our uniform and should not be worn to school. We ask for parents' support in this area. Outdoor shoes should be sensible and safe. Slip on and/or high heeled shoes are NOT appropriate.  Tattoos, nail varnish and make up are discouraged. In the interests of safety, the wearing of fashion scarves and jewellery other than a watch and stud earrings, is also discouraged.  It would be advisable to have longer hair tied up.
