On Tuesday 4th February the chamber choir pupils in Y5 and Y6 travelled to the Southbank Centre in London to take part in the Dukes Festival of the Arts in celebration of Dukes Education’s 10th birthday.
Following months of hard work and preparation, children and staff members were part of a Massed Choir where more than 900 pupils from various Dukes schools celebrated the joy of performing and making music on such a large scale. It was a fantastic experience for everyone involved and a huge thank you and congratulations to the children who took part. You did Broomfield proud!
Thank you so much to parents for supporting your children and to Miss Travis and Mrs Hughes for accompanying us on the trip to the Festival Hall. May this be a lovely memory for all involved.

We are celebrating World Book Day with a truly special treat this year! Following the success of yesterday’s incredible Dukes Great British Bake Off, we are launching our first-ever Dukes Great British Bake-Off Recipe Book with families this week.
Finalists from across the Dukes family showcased their delicious, book-inspired bakes to a panel of judges at Dukes House, and their creations were simply too yummy to resist! From magical cakes to literary-themed pastries, the creativity of all the finalists was nothing short of extraordinary.
We were delighted to be joined by Aatif Hassan, Chairman and Founder of Dukes Education, and Tim Fish, UK CEO, who celebrated the children’s fantastic creations alongside us.
A huge thank you also to all the English departments who took part, celebrating not just baking, but the love of books and storytelling through food. And last but not least, a special thank you to Lauren Carver Williams, Head of KS1 at Broomfield House School, for her incredible work in organising this event!
