Values

At Broomfield House School, our core values—Curiosity, Creativity, Courage, and Kindness—form the cornerstone of our ethos, thoughtfully woven into everyday life across the school. Our values guide everything from classroom interactions to playground conduct.

Curiosity drives our learners to ask questions, seek answers, and cultivate a passion for discovery. Research consistently highlights that pupils who embrace curiosity perform better academically—especially in subjects like maths and science—scoring significantly higher on assessments merely by being inquisitive and persistent. At Broomfield, we encourage this natural hunger for learning through open-ended explorations and inquiry-based projects that help children build deep understanding and critical thinking.

Creativity complements curiosity by offering children the freedom to express ideas, experiment, and imagine solutions. Creative problem-solving not only enhances academic achievement but also supports emotional wellbeing. We empower our pupils to think outside the box and build confidence through innovation.

Courage encourages children to challenge themselves, embrace risk, and grow resiliently. Stepping beyond one’s comfort zone fosters character and personal growth. At Broomfield, pupils are encouraged to speak up in assemblies, perform on stage, attempt new sports, and lead initiatives—each experience strengthening their confidence and agency.

Kindness lies at the heart of our community. Schools that embed kindness and empathy into their daily routines create inclusive, caring cultures that boost pupil wellbeing. From buddy systems and peer support to collective celebrations, our children learn to value respect, empathy, and tolerance.

Combined, these values nurture well-rounded individuals who not only achieve academic excellence but also develop positive mindsets, creative resilience, moral character, and a deep sense of community. Our commitment to Curiosity, Creativity, Courage, and Kindness ensures that every pupil is equipped for success at Broomfield and beyond.

A Holistic Approach

A balanced and holistic approach to education is key for us at Broomfield. We believe in allowing children to be children—free to learn, explore, and express themselves—while their individual characters naturally shine through in a multitude of wonderful ways. This nurturing environment fosters exponential growth in self-belief and independence. Research shows that when children feel safe, supported, and happy, they learn best: they become more motivated, engaged, and creative, with stronger emotional resilience and social skills. Our approach places each child at the very core, recognising that academic achievement is deeply interconnected with physical health, emotional wellbeing, and character development . By celebrating children as whole individuals, we build confident, curious, and compassionate learners who thrive both in and out of the classroom.

Forward Thinking

We prepare children for an ever-changing world with a curriculum that is both forward-thinking and modern. We continually adapt, evolve, and refine our content to ensure that children can apply their knowledge to real-world examples and embrace new experiences and challenges. Our blended learning approach combines the best of traditional teaching with the latest technology, providing pupils with flexible access to digital resources alongside essential skills for creating modern content across the curriculum. This model boosts critical thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy—skills vital for the 21st century—while enabling more personalised and engaging learning experiences . The result? Pupils who are confident, adaptable, and ready to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

Mindset

We embody a growth mindset approach across the school. Children believe in themselves and in the power of their brains. We encourage all children to approach difficult challenges, new concepts and new skills with a range of strategies that inspire a positive ‘can do’ mindset. We encourage independent thinking and problem solving. Meta-learning is embraced and we support each child in understanding how they themselves learn best. We challenge children with higher order thinking, ensuring they are not afraid of applying themselves to more complex concepts and ideas and importantly of getting things wrong.
