Independent Schools of the Year Awards 2024 winner LuxLife Private Education Awards 2026: Best Independent Preparatory School – London

Broomwood’s Year 5 finalists demonstrated creativity, confidence and entrepreneurial spirit at the Dragons’ Den final with Dukes Plus, with Broomwood Boys securing a Highly Commended runners-up award.

Held at Duke’s House on Tuesday 10 November 2026, the event saw pupils present their ideas to a panel of Dukes Dragons: Aatif Hassan, Tim Fish, Libby Nicholas and Dr Ricardo Tavares.

Our finalists had poured enthusiasm and energy into developing their pitches, and their hard work was evident in their presentations. Both teams shared imaginative ideas with confidence and conviction, showcasing their ability to work together and communicate what made their products special.

 

Broomwood Boys were named runners-up for their Ultimate Fridge 3000, receiving a Highly Commended award in recognition of their efforts. Meanwhile, Broomwood Girls captured the Dragons’ attention with their Sunny Waves hoodie, with members of the panel particularly eager to get their hands on one!

The competition gave pupils a valuable opportunity to put their skills into practice beyond the classroom. From developing an original concept to delivering a persuasive pitch, the experience brought together creative thinking, teamwork and public speaking.

We are immensely proud of all our finalists for the imagination, commitment and enthusiasm they brought to the challenge, and for representing Broomwood with such confidence.

Well done to both teams!
