Joining Broomwood | Private School London

Broomwood / Admissions

A Full Education From 3 – 13

We are delighted that you are considering Broomwood for your child’s education. It is a really special place, and we are happy to answer any questions you may have. We aim to make the admissions process as smooth as possible. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Your child may join us at ‘Little Broomwood’, our pre-school year, which is designed for children aged 3-4. If you prefer, we also have a large intake at Reception (aged 4-5). We educate boys and girls together (from Little Broomwood until the end of Year 2) after which, they automatically join our single sex prep schools (which take them through to 13 years). This enables all our pupils to develop confidently, at their own pace. Beyond the classroom, boys and girls come together at all ages, for a wealth of learning, sporting, and social activities.

Entry Points

Our official entrance points are 3+, 4+, 7+ and 11+. However, please note that we welcome applications at other times too, but these are subject to availability.

Contact Admissions@broomwood.com or speak to us on 0208 682 8830. Our team is highly experienced, and we are here to advise and assist you. We are always delighted for you to join us for an Open Morning or a bespoke tour.

Prep – Boys and Prep – Girls (age 7-9 – Years 3 & 4)

Entry to Broomwood Boys or Broomwood Girls is automatic for children moving up from Broomwood Pre-Prep. Every year we welcome new children into the school at this point and we are always delighted to talk to you to about your child’s situation and to answer any queries. External places are subject to a Taster Morning and a reference from current school. This is an opportunity to ensure we are the right fit for your child and for them to enjoy meeting new friends and experiencing something of the Broomwood approach. To enquire about availability or to talk through your options, please contact Admissions@broomwood.com or speak to us on 0208 682 8830

Prep – Boys or Prep – Girls (age 9-13 – Years 5 – 8)

We have more places available for the final two years (Years 7 & 8) at Broomwood during which we prepare children for entrance to a wide range of senior options, including co-ed, single-sex, day and boarding schools.

Places are subject to attending a Taster & Assessment Day, the main one being in January of the year of entry, as well as seeking a reference from the current school.

We know that changing schools at this stage is an important decision, and we are here to talk and advise – so please do contact our Admissions Team, Admissions@broomwood.com or speak to us on 0208 682 8830

A Seamless Path to Prep

Broomwood is part of the Dukes Education family of schools and educators, united by a common purpose: to give children the foundations for an extraordinary life. We create clusters of nurseries and schools in village locations to offer families an all-through education journey within their local area.

Dukes Education is committed to a smooth transition from nursery to prep school. With a focus on nurturing each child’s potential, we ensure that early years learning seamlessly flows into their prep school journey. Families from Little Dukes nurseries benefit from a guaranteed entry policy, meaning that when children are ready for Reception, their place in a Dukes prep school is assured—subject to availability and the child’s ability to thrive within the school’s ethos and curriculum.

Starting with a Little Dukes nursery provides a strong foundation and continuity as children grow. This guaranteed progression allows families to plan confidently, knowing their child can flourish in a familiar, supportive environment that celebrates their individuality.
