RSHE Consultation

The school has reviewed the Relationships, Sex Education and Health Policy to ensure its compliance with new Government regulations, updated 2025 that will come into effect from 2026. Despite this not yet being regulation, we believe it is best to follow best practice and will implement this policy this academic year.

As a prep school we are not required to deliver the sex education element and we are not including this. However, statutory regulation requires that our curriculum must cover the Relationships element and we primarily do this through our PSHEE Jigsaw provision. We give puberty talks to Year 5 and again in Year 6 children and reproduction in plant and animals is covered within the Science curriculum.

As it seen as best practice, we would like to consult parents on the policy and welcome any feedback on the policy. If you have any feedback, please email Mrs Sangtabi on ssangtabi@broomfieldhouse.com.

New Parent Portal Launch

We are excited to launch our newly revamped Parent Portal on iSAMS, which we hope will be a useful platform for sharing links, documents, photos, and reports with you. As with anything new, we expect there to be areas that can be improved, and we would very much welcome your feedback and input. Please email tpakcan@broomfieldhouse.com if you have any comments you wish to share with us.

Login details:

  • Years 2–6 can continue to use the same iSAMS login details as last year.
  • Early Years parents, Year 1 parents, and all new parents will be issued new login details in the coming days. Please look out for an automated email from iSAMS with your unique login details and instructions.
  • Please note: Early Years and Year 1 parents with older siblings in school will not be issued new login details as they can continue to use their iSAMS login as last year since all siblings will be shown on the same account.

Parent Portal link >>

If you experience any difficulties logging in, please send an email to office@broomfieldhouse.com.

We hope the short video will give you some insight into how the Parent Portal looks and what you can expect to find. We are planning to extend its use and upload more useful links and documents throughout the year.

Kindergarten

Kindergarten trip to Pizza Express 24/09/25

Kindergarten are counting down the days until their trip to Pizza Express! The children will transform into pizza chefs and cook up a storm. We will then return to school and have a delicious pizza picnic!

Year 5

Dear Year 5 parents,
As you start to visit secondary schools on their open days and consider the best options for your child, please also do let us know as soon as possible if you are considering applying for a scholarship at 11+.
This is particularly important if your child will be applying for an art scholarship as they will need to start working on their art portfolio. In this instance, please contact Mrs Frey (email: CFrey@broomfieldhouse.com) for advice.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries about the 11+ process.
Best wishes,

Mrs Ketel, 11+ Coordinator

Highlights

Eco Club

Next week is National Forest Week, so it’s a perfect time to reflect and build on what the children talked about this week during Eco Club. They shared what they knew about the important role forests play in the world — from being fabulous habitats for numerous plants and animals, to providing ingredients for medicines, to being large carbon stores by absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. We also discussed deforestation and the issues that it is causing.
