Broomwood Prep – Girls
School summary
With around 175 girls aged 4 to 13 and a pupil-to-teacher ratio of roughly seven to one, Broomwood Prep – Girls is a small independent school in Wandsworth where individual attention is built into the daily rhythm rather than promised in a prospectus. The Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded its highest grade of 'excellent' for both education and personal development, and the school met all compliance standards. A multi-faith ethos sits alongside a notably high level of additional support: more than one in six pupils receives SEN provision, suggesting a setting comfortable with a range of learning needs. The school is led by Head Ms Louisa McCafferty.

Teaching & academics
The ISI's 'excellent' rating for the quality of pupils' education reflects a school built around small-group teaching, with classes kept tight enough for staff to know each girl well. The same low ratio that supports stretch also underpins the school's capacity to support its sizeable cohort of pupils on SEN support. As a prep school spanning ages 4 to 13, teaching is geared towards senior school entry at the end of Year 8.

Mobile phone policy
Older pupils may bring a phone to school for safety when travelling independently, but it must be switched off on arrival and handed in for the day. Phones are only returned at the end of the day for communication about collection or transport home. While smartphones are permitted, a basic 'brick' phone is recommended wherever possible.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, intimate girls' prep with top inspection marks across the board and a strong appetite for supporting different kinds of learners. Day fees of roughly £28,600 to £30,500 are the headline consideration, with a Dukes-wide bursary scheme still in the pipeline rather than in place.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
