As part of Broomfield House School’s 150th year, Mr Anstey will take on the challenge of running an extraordinary 100km (and a bit) across London on Friday 19th June, visiting Dukes Education schools along the route to raise funds for the Dukes Foundation Transformational Bursary Campaign.

Inspired by the brilliant children at Broomfield and across the wider Dukes family, and by the kindness, courage and community spirit they show so often, Mr Anstey felt it was important to have “skin in the game” and personally take on a challenge in support of a cause that creates opportunity for young people who need it most.

This is not about speed, records, or personal glory, all of these things are unlikely.

Instead, it is about using a difficult physical challenge to help shine a light on something far more important – widening access to transformational education and supporting children to flourish.

100km across London will require resilience, preparation, endurance and determination, qualities we speak about often with children at Broomfield, and values that sit at the heart of the Dukes Foundation’s work.

1 day. 1 city. 2 legs. 100km (and a bit).

We are excited to welcome our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten parents to our interactive Phonics Workshop. This session will give you the opportunity to step into your child’s shoes and experience what a phonics lesson looks like in school.

During the workshop, we will explore how phonics is taught, how we support children in developing their reading, writing and comprehension skills, and the strategies we use in the classroom to build confidence and success.

We will also provide practical and invaluable guidance on how you can support your child’s reading and writing development at home in fun and meaningful ways.
