Broomfield House School is proud to announce an exceptional outcome from the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) following their visit in December 2025. The School has been awarded a Significant Strength in the Quality of Education the highest possible recognition by the ISI and a rare accolade reserved only for a few distinctive schools demonstrating the strongest practice nationwide.
‘Pupils throughout the school achieve at high levels in relation to expectations for their ages and make particularly rapid progress from their starting points in literacy and numeracy. This is a significant strength of the school.’
This recognition reflects the outstanding academic standards, exceptional teaching, and the remarkable breadth and impact of our curriculum. It also celebrates the warmth, care and purposeful energy that define life at Broomfield, a genuine home‑from‑home where children flourish academically, socially and emotionally.
