Broadwood School

Halifax, Calderdale, Yorkshire and the Humber · HX2 0RU

Broadwood School is a notably small independent in Halifax, with around 39 pupils across its roll. That intimate scale defines the place: a mixed, non-denominational school where children are likely to be known individually rather than as part of a year group. It admits at age 11 and is led by Head Mrs Natalie Callahan, with inspection carried out by the ISI rather than Ofsted. Families drawn to a close-knit setting over a large institution will find the size central to the experience here.
