Headteacher: Mrs Katie Gray
Broadhembury Church of England Primary School Honiton Devon EX14 3NF Headteacher: Mrs Katie Gray (01404) 841304 [email protected] fax: (01404) 841778 4th September 2015 Dear Parents, Welcome back to the start of the new school year! I hope you all had a super holiday, I’ve enjoyed hearing from the children all the things they’ve been up to. We must say a big welcome to our new children Lewen, George, Harrison, Lily and Bethany who have joined us this week. I would also like to say a big welcome to our new class two teacher, Mr Darren Hooper, who joined us this week. Please introduce yourselves to him when you drop your children off! He will be teaching the children on Mondays and Tuesdays. Thank you for all your continued support. God bless and have a lovely weekend. Best wishes from Katie Gray and the staff at Broadhembury School Home Learning During the recent staff training days we looked together at our policy relating to Home Learning. Across The Jubilee Federation, staff recognise that pupils who have spent a busy structured day at school need time to relax and unwind at the end of the afternoon. We are also mindful of the need to encourage children to pursue out-of-school activities e.g. swimming, ballet, music lessons, Cubs, Brownies etc. We believe that home learning should be used to effectively reinforce and/or extend what is learned in school. Home learning is planned to be meaningful. We hope that children will feel a sense of personal satisfaction in a task completed well and that their efforts will be recognised and praised both at home and at school. -

Feature on Hemyock for the Blackdown News Introduction. The
Feature on Hemyock for the Blackdown News Introduction . The village of Hemyock lies on the River Culm in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the parish covers some 5000 acres and includes the hamlets of Ashculme, Culm Davy, Mackham, Madford, Tedburrow and Simmonsburrow. This bustling village community supports a population of 2,211. Background . Hemyock was first recorded in the Geld Roll of 1084 and again in the Domesday Book of 1086. The meaning of the name Hemyock varies but one Celtic meaning is “summer stream”. St Mary's Church dates back to the early part of the 12 th Century and has some impressive Norman masonry and a peal of 6 bells. The Normans improved the Castle in 1380 with turrets, and battlements and during Cromwell's brief administration it was used as a prison to hold Royalist sympathisers; however, with the return of the monarchy in 1660 King Charles 2 endorsed the castles destruction! In 1874 the Culm Valley Light Railway was opened and overnight the village had instant access to the whole of the UK. Not surprisingly in 1886 the Culm Valley Dairy Company was founded (later called St Ivel) and with daily milk collections around the Blackdown's butter was manufactured on a large scale. Linked to the dairy factory was the founding of the Young Farmers Club in 1920 and this is now a popular UK organisation. The Village . Hemyock has always been a forward thinking village and is blessed with some well managed facilities. The Parish Council is actively engaged in village life and over the past couple of years has achieved the formation of the Healthy Living Centre, the Longmead Sports Complex and the flood plain footpath.
