The Curriculum
Boys thrive in our busy, friendly, and stimulating environment with outstanding teaching. Subject specialists ensure they are stretched and nurtured for entry to top senior schools at 11 and 13+ Boys collaborate with Broomwood Girls, for academic extension, sporting and creative activities.
Games & The Arts
All boys play matches in the major sports. Whilst inclusive, teams punch above their weight, even against much bigger schools. Wide-ranging clubs include karate, coding, and spy club. Vibrant music, drama and art departments with ambitious projects, multiple ensembles, and opportunities to perform.
Pastoral Care
Small class sizes and an excellent tutor system that ensures every boy has someone looking out for him. The small and friendly community enables staff and boys to get to know each other well. Boys are taught mindfulness and techniques to manage anxiety and the learning support dog Lyra is a popular member of the school. Parent partnership is actively encouraged and the Head’s office is always open.
