At Broomwood, children have space to be active, creative and curious. Across our Pre-Prep and Prep sites in Clapham, specialist teaching rooms sit alongside extensive gardens, imaginative play areas and on-site sports facilities.

Our facilities are part of everyday school life, giving pupils room to develop new interests and enjoy time with friends, as well as places to read quietly or take a moment to themselves.

Gardens and outdoor learning

Our gardens and outdoor areas are a much-loved part of Broomwood. Used for lessons and break times, they give children room to explore, take on physical challenges, and enjoy imaginative play.

The outdoor amphitheatre and stage provide settings for storytelling and performance. Climbing frames, table tennis and large chess sets offer different ways to spend time together, while quieter corners make space for reading and a calmer moment.

Beyond our own grounds, access to Wandsworth Common and Clapham Common extends the opportunities for outdoor learning. Some PE lessons also take place on Wandsworth Common.

Sports facilities

Our on-site sports facilities include astro areas, a netball court and cricket nets. Multi-use games areas support a range of sports and physical activities throughout the year.

These spaces give pupils regular opportunities to practise their skills, develop teamwork and build confidence through sport.

Pre-Prep learning spaces

Broomwood Pre-Prep brings together bright classrooms, an Early Years building and outdoor spaces designed specifically for younger children. In Nursery and Reception, welcoming learning environments encourage children to explore and build independence.

In the garden, a fairy garden, maze and mud kitchen invite children to invent stories and play together. Climbing and balancing equipment offer physical challenges, while sensory play areas encourage children to investigate textures and materials. These spaces extend the classroom, helping children develop language and social skills through everyday discovery.

Art and Design Technology

Our Art and Design Technology rooms give pupils space to work with different materials and develop their own ideas. Children explore drawing, painting, modelling and design, with equipment including sewing machines and a 3D printer, opening up further possibilities for textiles and making.

Practical projects encourage pupils to think through a design, solve problems and refine their work as their skills develop.

Science laboratories

Dedicated science laboratories make practical investigation part of pupils’ learning. Through experiments and close observation, children explore concepts across biology, chemistry and physics, learning to ask questions and consider the evidence.

These specialist spaces help pupils connect what they learn in lessons with what they can test and discover for themselves.

Cookery room

In our cookery room, pupils develop practical skills and learn about food and nutrition. Following recipes and preparing food together encourages careful measuring, teamwork and increasing independence, with the satisfaction of creating something themselves.

Computer suites

Dedicated computer suites support pupils’ learning in coding, research and digital creativity. Children develop presentation skills and learn to use technology confidently and responsibly, building habits that support their work across the curriculum.

Library

Our library gives children space to enjoy books and follow their interests. A broad range of fiction, non-fiction and reference titles supports reading for pleasure and research, with quiet areas where pupils can settle into a story or work independently.

School halls

Our school halls bring the Broomwood community together for assemblies, performances and celebrations. Used for music, drama and school events, they give pupils opportunities to share their work, perform for an audience and celebrate one another’s achievements.
