Thoughts from the Study
Community and continued success
Last night’s PTA Quiz Night was a perfect reminder of everything that makes Broomfield so special. The hall was buzzing with laughter, healthy competition, delicious food (provided by an ex-Broomfieldian) and community spirit, culminating in a razor-thin (yet glorious) victory for the teachers’ team, winning by just half a point! A huge thank you to our thriving PTA for bringing parents, friends, and staff together for such a superb evening with expert compèring and quiz mastery leading the fun. Events like these reflect the strong bonds that underpin our school culture, where community and connection are the golden threads running through all that we do.
I believe this sense of togetherness is also what fuels our continued academic success. You may already have heard that, once again, we are celebrating an outstanding set of 11+ results. Our Year 6 pupils secured 105 senior school offers, including 11 scholarships, across 22 different independent schools. For a proudly non-selective prep school, this achievement stands tall among even the most academically selective schools in London.
Here is a snapshot of our recent three year performance for greater context:
| Year | Senior School Offers | Scholarships | Schools Represented | Prediction Accuracy |
| 2023 | 74 | 5 | 24 | 93% |
| 2024 | 68 | 14 | 22 | 93% |
| 2025 | 105 | 11 | 22 | 97% |
These superb outcomes are of course the product of years of personalised teaching, evidence based planning, and a whole school commitment to nurturing every individual child. Each Broomfield pupil is on their own journey, and it is through our strategic, holistic, and child-centred approach that we deliver the remarkable value added progress that we see in our academic data, empowering every child to fulfil their potential.
A key part of our 11+ success is our expert support for parents. We walk alongside families every step of the way, offering transparent and thoughtful advice that helps each child find the senior school that is right for them, academically, socially, and emotionally. This approach means fewer applications, greater confidence, and exceptional outcomes. We are all deeply ambitious for all our children, whether they are aiming for the most academically selective destinations or seeking a more holistic pathway.
The true success of a Broomfield education however, goes far beyond the 11+. All of the staff team are dedicated to ensuring that children who come through Broomfield are inspired and empowered to flourish. We want our children to become anti-fragile individuals, ready to face challenges with resilience, build strong and healthy relationships, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them. Through our approach, they develop the values, self-awareness, and confidence they need to thrive in an ever-evolving society where virtuous character and emotional intelligence are paramount.
To all our families, thank you for your trust, partnership, and belief throughout this past term. Although, we look forward to a rest in school, the work continues as we focus on own marginal gains ambition to build something truly extraordinary at Broomfield, a journey that is just getting started.
Wishing you all the best for a restful Easter break,
Mr Anstey
Headmaster
We are proud of our Year 6 children who noticed an alarming amount of rubbish on the beach in Spain and decided to take action. The children were able to gather a significant amount of rubbish. It was great to see Broomfield’s eco credentials extending beyond the school grounds – even on holiday! #litterpick #environmentalawareness #prepschooltrip #spainschooltrip

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.
