What the school says...
Broomfield is an independent co-educational day school for 3 to 11 year olds. Based in a beautiful Victorian house which, combined with a modern 3 storey building containing our Art, Music and Drama facilities and a kitchen and dining room which won an architectural award, provides both a homely environment and up to date facilities. We are an Endeavour Ambassador School for our neighbour, Kew Gardens and enjoy a close partnership with this world-class botanical wonderland.
Our outside space is surprisingly large and the children have a lot of fun on the tubular slides and playing football, netball and volleyball at break times or casting their nets into the pond, where micro-organisms abound.
We offer a broad curriculum so, as well as English, Maths and Science, we teach the Creative Arts, Humanities, Computing, Religion, Philosophy and Ethics, Spanish and Sports. We aim to give our pupils a varied experience both within our curriculum and through extra-curricular activities, offering plenty of opportunities to discover the things that make their hearts sing. Our children enjoy performing in annual plays, musicals and concerts, contributing in assemblies and at events, singing in the Chamber Choir and playing in our Orchestra. ...Read more

Special Education Needs
Broomfield is able to support children with mild to moderate educational or medical needs. We are not able to provide one to one or specialist support. Our SENCO, Mrs Pache, would be happy to speak with families whose children have additional needs, to see if Broomfield can cater for their child's education.
