Poetry Recitals
On Wednesday, the KS1 children wowed their teachers and parents with an exceptional array of poems. The Year 1 children selected a poem, while the Year 2 children wrote their own. Both classes excelled in their delivery and recited with eloquence, confidence and pride. A huge congratulations to every child for making the morning most magical and memorable for us all.
Eldercool - Kew Fete
We are delighted to share that our Year 4 children successfully ran their annual Elderflower Stall at the Kew Fête last Saturday. It was a fantastic day for everyone involved. The event attracted thousands of visitors from across London, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere.
The handmade sweet treats were a big hit. We received an email from Pippa, the Kew Fete Stalls Coordinator, informing us that they are still finalising the totals, but it looks like the event has raised around £20,000 for local charities, which is fantastic news. Thank you all for your support and contributions!
Debating
On Friday 21st June our brilliant Year 5 debating team (Charlotte H, Victor, Anushka, Zach, Tara and Arnav) represented Broomfield as one of only eight schools at the national final of the Cicero debating competition, and the only school to qualify for the final in two successive years!
We fought electrifying semi-finals on 1. whether international tourism does more harm than good, against St Stephen’s Primary, and on 2. whether the aeroplane changed the world more than the internet, against St Mary’s, Eltham. Our best efforts were not quite enough this year to carry us through to the grand final, which was between two Year 6 teams – James Allen Girls, Dulwich and Bancroft’s Prep, Enfield.
Mr Kennedy accompanied the team and said that what impressed him the most was how tenaciously both of our teams engaged in their debates and looked for opportunities to challenge the opposition’s position. The organisers also praised our pupils’ high standards of debate, and our courtesy and behaviour.
Kindergarten Trip
Kindergarten had a great day out at the London museum of water and steam. The day started with an interactive puppet show before an opportunity to explore the museum where the children learnt about steam engines, how our water is cleaned and how it has changed over the years. After lunch they enjoyed playing in the splash zone in the sun before boarding the bus back to school.
Art Highlight
Year 4 studied Henri Matisse and his work. Inspired by his work, the children created a colouring pencil drawing of his studio, integrating leaf shapes like the ones he used in his decoupage work at the end of his life.
Launch of the New BHS Magazine!
We are excited to announce that the new BHS Magazine will be printed next week!
Following the parent communication survey conducted in the autumn term, we have transformed the BHS Magazine based on your feedback. You can look forward to more photos, making it more engaging and visually appealing.
We hope you enjoy the new format! Any feedback is as always very welcome so we can keep improving it in the coming years. Send an email to news@broomfieldhouse.com.

Happy New Year from all of us at Broomfield!
On Monday we kicked off the spring term with the Dukes Education Conference at Wembley. We are delighted to share that our Headmaster, Adam Anstey, and the school were honoured with the Wellbeing Initiative Award in recognition of the effective efforts to promote wellbeing among both children and staff.
This award is a true testament to what is one of the cornerstones of our philosophy and work at Broomfield.
With the theme “The Heart of Education” the conference provided a fantastic opportunity for professional development. Thought-provoking discussions explored the impact of AI, the future of education, and the critical importance of character development in shaping the young leaders of tomorrow.

On Tuesday last week, children from Years 2 - 6 gathered at St. Anne’s Church to kick off the festive season with our annual Christmas Carol Service. Each year group contributed beautifully, and we felt immense pride listening to their lovely singing and instrument playing. An extra ‘well done’ to Year 6 who read the nine lessons brilliantly, telling us the story of the birth of Jesus. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this wonderful occasion.

Thanks to all Broomfield families for your generous donations to our local food bank. We also continued our tradition of our harvest boxes, which were delivered by our Year 6 children, staff and parent volunteers to the elderly in our local area. It was a heartwarming event, reminding us of the value of kindness and generosity during this season of harvest.
