Broomwood celebrates record-breaking scholarship success
Pupils in Year 6 and Year 8 at Broomwood, one of Clapham’s leading prep schools, are celebrating another record-breaking year for scholarships, after being offered an exceptional 47 scholarships, the highest number in the school’s history.
Nearly half of the scholarships awarded were for academic achievement, alongside awards across sport, music, drama, art and all-round excellence, reflecting both the breadth of talent and Broomwood’s commitment to nurturing every child as an individual.
Scholarship offers came from some of the top senior schools in the country, including Alleyn's School, Brighton College, JAGS, Dulwich College and Epsom College. Broomwood pupils also received more than 230 offers from a wide range of leading senior schools, including academically selective London day schools and prestigious boarding schools outside the capital.
Speaking about the news, Principal and Head of the Broomwood Boys, Michael Hodge, said: "We are incredibly proud of all the pupils who have achieved scholarships this year. To receive a record-breaking 47 scholarships is a remarkable accomplishment and reflects the hard work, ambition and character of our pupils, alongside the dedication and expertise of our staff.
"Nearly half of the scholarships awarded were academic scholarships, which is a tremendous achievement for our pupils and teaching staff alike. Over the last five years, scholarship offers at Broomwood have increased by more than 50 per cent, reflecting the strength of teaching, pastoral support and individual encouragement across the school."
