We have blended an innovative learning space with the highest quality of teaching to provide our students the opportunities to explore and have fun with their learning. They develop the confidence in themselves and are given a wide range of opportunities to develop and enhance their skills and understanding of themselves as learners in a modern world. We are deeply committed to building a community in which our students develop an understanding of their place within an internationally connected world. With over 60 nationalities represented at ISS, our students take part in a truly diverse educational environment which allows them to take their place confidently as active participators in a multiculturally diverse world beyond school.
ISS is an IB continuum school in which we embrace our diversity and celebrate our internationalism at every opportunity. Our teachers are internationally diverse in their experience which provides our students with a broad perspective of real-life connections within the IB curriculum. Learning through sharing is our vision and we embed this into our daily learning across all phases of the school. This guarantees our children experience a connected transition from the time they are welcomed into the ISS community through to the time they graduate.

About
International Sharing School

International Sharing School aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and open-minded lifelong learners who aspire to build a better tomorrow, through a supportive, respectful, and caring environment promoting learning through sharing.

We use the IB Curriculum Framework as we believe the curriculum is more in line with our core values and vision on education. Using a project based approach, we want to create students who understand we are all the same and want to help build a better, more peaceful world.

We work in the dynamic development of a multilingual and multicultural holistic approach, creating an environment which is relaxed but challenging, familiar but disciplined and most of all, we have created a school for the citizens of the future where fun and curiosity may lead to Learning Through Sharing and creativity in problem solving.

We promote a caring, multicultural and hospitable environment for all the community

Devonshire House Preparatory School

Devonshire House offers an intellectual, creative learning environment in which girls and boys of all character and learning profiles can thrive and maximise their potential.

We believe that parents shouldn’t have to choose between academically rigorous and pastorally nurturing schools: their children can have both at Devonshire House.

Strong core subject teaching is combined with a great breadth of study in specialist rooms and taught by expert teachers in their respective fields. A wide range of sports is on offer at our state-of-the-art facility and there is a keen focus on S.T.E.M, the creative arts, languages and the Humanities.

We encourage children to think critically by assimilating different perspectives with an open mindset, able to find nuanced positions as they wrestle with problems. We believe that learning and play represent a symbiotic relationship, one feeding the other.

Children learn as much from studying bugs in our wild area as they do in the classroom. The great outdoors are critical to a child’s development and at Devonshire House, we ensure that the children spend as much time outdoors as possible.

Devonshire House Preparatory School

“A solid, stretching, well-connected prep school of the highest standard, offering something for everybody aged 2 to 13.

Located in four large Hampstead villas, each with its own large garden, the school has a uniform feel with fresh paint and bright carpets throughout […] Each building has a generous supply of outdoor space, constantly in use.

Senior school advice comes in for praise: ‘Nothing comes as a shock, we’ve been involved all the way along,’ said one mother, while a girl told us that she ‘had not felt too nervous about the exams’. Maintains that London edge, however, and although not heavily called upon, the school benefits from the priority entry scheme to Dukes senior schools.”

Broomwood Prep – Girls

We provide a forward-thinking holistic education in beautiful grounds between Clapham and Wandsworth Common. Our programmes are tailored to the needs of the modern world. We are big enough to stretch and stimulate, yet small enough to know each girl as an individual.

We embrace latest advances in educational thinking and technology. Broomwood Girls benefit from progressing at their own pace in the classroom, but join with Broomwood Boys for academic extension activities, including joint House competitions, as well as sports, creative workshops and residential trips.

We care about instilling good values, promoting resilience and giving each girl a fully rounded education.  We take pride in the breadth of our successes from our outstanding academic results to achievements in sport, drama, art and music. Our pupils go on to top day or boarding schools at 11 or 13+. We enjoy some of the best prep school results in London, with children winning competitive scholarships for academic studies, music, sport, drama and art.

However, we are not a hot-house.  We do not want girls to feel the pressures faced by too many this age.  We’re immensely proud of our fantastic pastoral care which is key to the academic and personal success of our girls. The journey our pupils are on, allows them to thrive and be successful because they are so well supported. Our tutor system means there is always an adult at school, who takes an interest – a real interest – in every child’s triumphs, disasters and achievements. This, I believe, is what truly sets us apart.

We have wonderful buildings and surroundings with some of the best prep facilities in London, including a fully-fledged DT Suite, specialist science labs and cookery school. We have superb and dedicated staff, supportive parents who believe in what we are trying to do, girls who are rewarding and a joy to teach. I personally couldn’t want for anything more. We believe our approach and ethos is the best way to help your daughter realise her potential.  But don’t take my word for it – please come and see us for yourselves and discover the Broomwood difference.

I look forward to welcoming you.

Broomwood Prep – Boys

I hope you will come to see the magical alchemy of our school: we deliver academic excellence alongside myriad sporting, music, drama, and creative opportunities. More often than not, visitors remark on the vibrancy and fun that permeates the place. We are proud of our outstanding academic results but more importantly, we want our boys to have a happy childhood – and that is what we deliver, in spades.

We combine the very best of modern education within a traditional setting and moral framework to educate ‘the whole person’. Broomwood Boys learn at their own pace in the classroom but collaborate with Broomwood Girls for extension and social activities. We have joint house competitions, academic workshops and come together for residential trips and mixed sporting events. Our boys leave us as young men with good values and respect for others. They are self-confident, independent thinkers and team players – essential skills which will stand them in good stead for life at senior school and in the workplace.

Most boys leave us at 13 although some leave (and join) at 11 too. Our results are some of the best in London. Last year, our pupils were awarded 22 scholarships at leading public schools – both day and boarding. We work with parents to ensure that children go to the schools that are right for them.

With 250 boys and no plans to get any bigger we are small enough for everyone to know each other well and large enough to field teams which hold their own against much bigger schools.  Sport is a large part of life at Broomwood, and we are lucky to overlook the green expanse of Wandsworth Common.  School days are long, but rewarding and your son will come home to relax after completing everything (including his homework) at school.

We have dedicated, specialist staff and exemplary pastoral care. If this is something you think might be right for your child, please do come and visit us. Most children join us automatically from Broomwood Pre-Prep, but we do offer places at 7+ and 11+.  Our admissions team are experts in helping you consider all the options and would be delighted to talk to you. We do have some occasional places and look sympathetically at applicants for other Year groups, although this depends on numbers.

I look forward to meeting you all,

About
Broomwood Prep – Boys

Broomwood Prep – Boys is a single-sex prep school for children aged 7 to 13, which collaborates closely with the girls from Broomwood. We are a day school in the heart of London. Our motto: BeYourBEST, exemplifies our desire to give boys the confidence to know that by trying to do their best, they reap the rewards of personal satisfaction and achievement. During his time at Broomwood, every boy should be able to find something he can shine at and thus know the pleasure in achievement – be it in the classroom, on the sports pitch, or in music and drama.

 

So, while we’re rightly proud of our boys’ outstanding successes in senior school assessments, scholarship applications and other examinations, we’re just as proud of their achievements on the sports fields and in the music, art and drama that are embedded into our curriculum. Perhaps more than this, we measure our success, as a school, by the character and manners of our boys. We pride ourselves on being a friendly school that places importance on the traditional values that boys carry with them for life.  Things like kindness, compassion, teamwork and consideration for others – the basics of good manners.
