In 1876, a local newspaper, the Richmond & Twickenham Times, mentioned Broomfield House School for the first time. This seemingly insignificant event marked the beginning of a long and rich history for Broomfield House School. Broomfield House School is Kew’s oldest independent school. It has been a cornerstone of the community for generations, witnessing the changing times and educating countless young minds. The original Broomfield House, a grand Victorian edifice, still stands today. It houses Years 4, 5, and 6, along with a science room, study rooms, and a computer lab. Imagine the echoes of laughter and learning that must resonate within those walls. Broomfield House School boasts a unique partnership with two local Montessori schools: Kew Montessori and St Margaret’s Montessori. This collaboration provides children as young as two with a seamless educational pathway leading right into Broomfield House School. This speaks volumes about their commitment to nurturing young minds from their earliest years.
