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 our very own Mrs Carver Williams, Head of KS1 at Broomfield House School, for her incredible work in organising this event!
The Broomfield House debating team this week won through to the national final of the annual Cicero Cup debating competition, for the third year in succession. This year’s competition has been bigger than ever before, with 100 top schools entered from across the country, which makes our mixed Year 5/6 team’s success all the more remarkable. Broomfield is the only school to have made it to the final three years in succession. Debating is a brilliant way to learn how to make and defend your case in any kind of discussion or negotiation and a great way to master vital life skills. We await news of the date and place of the final but it is sure to be a big occasion. Congratulations to all the children involved.
What a fantastic World Book Day at Broomfield! After celebrating the wonderful Dukes Great British Bake Off, honouring our star bakers and their delicious literary-themed creations, we showcased the incredible literary door designs. A special highlight? The unforgettable appearance of Travis Santos (aka Mr. Kennedy), who had the whole school in tears laughing! What a fun-filled morning and an amazing way to end the week.
A huge well done to all our families for the incredible effort with creative costumes – everyone looked amazing!
On Monday 3rd March 2025, the Year 6 children travelled to Lavender Hill Magistrates’ Court (a working court handling criminal matters and single justice procedures). The children learned about the severity of having a criminal record and experienced the court process with a role play. At the end, the children were asked to think about whether they thought the defendant was innocent or guilty – an insight into the challenging decisions the magistrates are faced with on a daily basis. We were also lucky to be allowed to visit the dingy and gloomy cells which have hopefully put the children off carrying out any criminal activities…!
Year 5 studied the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. We discussed his ideas about architecture and looked at the abstract elements in his painting and prints. Inspired by his work the children created a building focusing on composition and colour contrasts.

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.
