Senior Prep

The Age of Adventure

Grade 4 - 6

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. 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.

Curriculum

At Broadacres Academy, we embrace the transformative power of constructivism in educational practice, unlocking the full potential of our students in the Junior and Senior Preparatory.

Our approach is deeply aligned with our four pillars – to encourage Summit Climbers, Habit Champions, Purpose-Driven Contributors, and Deeply Connected Relationship Builders – guiding our students on their path to flourishing. Our approach is rooted in the belief that children actively construct their knowledge and understanding of the world through experiences, interactions, and reflections – learning naturally.

We understand the nature of children and how they learn. Our approach to learning centres around the child. Our learning spaces are dynamic and movable, allowing for flexibility and open-mindedness. The beauty of our natural surrounds and the contemporary farm-like feel at our school make outdoor learning possible.

Our school is a happy, thoughtful and caring space grounded by our community values of kindness, integrity, empathy, courtesy, love for the environment and compassion.

Aftercare & Holiday Care

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.
