Explore the journey that will support your child as they develop their natural love of learning in the Preparatory School.
Bubbly conversations and joyful learning can be heard from our secure Junior Prep learning spaces. We create opportunities for the children to immerse themselves in exploratory learning during Grade 0 – 3. This forms the foundation of each child’s happy journey through the Prep School at Broadacres Academy. With our staff, your child will receive an excellent educational grounding in this critical, building-block stage of their schooling.
Enrich their school day with fun.
Nurture a happy, confident child.
Develop a natural love of learning.
Step into our classrooms and discover an organic, interactive, engaging, and supportive learning environment. With flexible seating arrangements and various learning centres – some of them embracing a natural outdoor setting, students are encouraged to explore, inquire, and make connections to deepen their understanding of various subjects. Our educators strive to be facilitators, guiding and supporting students in their journey of knowledge construction. We believe in the power of student input, valuing their perspectives, and fostering a sense of ownership and empowerment in their education.
Learning at Broadacres Academy is situated in authentic, natural contexts that are meaningful and relevant to students’ lives. We provide real-world examples, problems, and challenges, making learning both meaningful and applicable.
Assessment at Broadacres focuses on understanding and growth, not just grades. Students are assessed through various means, and teachers provide constructive feedback that guides their learning journey. We recognise the diverse learning needs and styles of our students, offering various learning opportunities and resources to accommodate different preferences and abilities.
At Broadacres Academy, we believe in the power of constructivist education to inspire young minds, promote critical thinking, and prepare students for a lifelong journey of acquiring knowledge and understanding the world around them. Join us on this magical and transformative educational journey.
At Our Little Village, we’ve created a haven where children belong, a home away from home to provide the peace of mind parents need.
Our in-house service has its own experienced staff, delightful, safe settings and are packed with age-appropriate, fun-filled activities that focus on the social development of the children in our care. This service beautifully compliments the Broadacres ethos of kindness and care, and is an extension of the learning that occurs during the academic day.
We pride ourselves on our exceptional safety standards, wonderfully prepared meals during our clubs and a close and protective bond with the children.
Aftercare is available to the Preparatory School children at an additional cost (as per the fee schedule), and runs until 17h00 each day. Closing time is at 17:00 with gates closing at 17:30. There is a half-day option until 15:30. It includes a cooked lunch, constant structured supervision and a light afternoon snack. Note that there is no aftercare on the days that we break up for half-term and end-of-term.
Holiday Care is run internally by Our Little Village in all our school holidays, with minimal closure times.
At Broadacres Academy, we have a variety of enriching activities on offer across the preparatory school.
