Travelling to and from school
Broadhurst School > About Us > Travelling to and from school
Children are encouraged, where possible, to walk, scooter or cycle to school. There is provision at school for bicycles, buggies and scooters. For those living further afield, car sharing (including use of a Taxi) and the use of public transport is promoted.
Where a car must be used, all parents are asked to drive only part of the way, park away from the school and walk the rest of the way (park and walk). Parking restrictions operate between 8am and 10pm, from Monday to Saturday. There are very few Pay and Display bays available in the school vicinity and parents are requested not to park in Greencroft Gardens.
For morning drop offs in the Spring and Summer terms, parents may let their child out of the car outside the school, to be accompanied into the building by another parent on a rota system (stop and drop).
The school supports the Camden Schools Travel Plan which encourages families to develop environmentally friendly journeys to school. This not only increases the fitness of our pupils but also improves the local environment.
We are pleased to have received a Silver award from Transport for London in 2016 in recognition of our achievement in active and safer travel initiatives.

"I learnt how to paint like the artist Vincent van Gogh. My favourite painting is Starry Night because I love the dark blue sky and the swirls."
Zail in Reception
"I like learning about the time because I like using the timers and counting how many seconds it takes for all the sand to fall to the bottom. You can also use a clock to tell the time." – Nathan
Nathan in Reception
"I like making speed cars so that I can pretend to race them with my friends. My favourite thing to use is the connectors."
Zachary in Reception
"I enjoy making big numbers and counting less and more than the number. I always use the counters to help me."
Constantine in Reception
"I like playing on the slide in the garden because I can imagine it's a castle, a helicopter or some trees."
Anika in Reception
"I love to play with the timers because when the sand goes all the way to the bottom it tells me to finish."
Rahul in Reception
"I like doing my writing because I learn new sounds all the time and then I can write about things we are learning about like abstract art and healthy living."
Vedant in Reception
"I like learning about maths even when it's tricky because I just keep trying my best. My favourite is the number bond song."
Eloise in Reception

Daniel in Reception
"I enjoyed learning about the time and finding out that seconds are smaller than minutes."

"I love using the blocks and cubes to make towers. I most enjoyed when we got to measure the towers to find the tallest one."
Oliver in Reception
"I liked finding out about healthy eating. I made my own recipes at our play café, like spinach and tomato salad."

Shiv in Reception
"I loved making towers in maths. I got to draw three towers and measure which was the tallest."

We aim to achieve the highest standard of teaching and learning for all children.
We believe a child's first experience of school should be both stimulating and exciting. We value highly the importance of learning through play.
Children make good progress in English and Mathematics throughout the school. They are well prepared for Key Stage 1. Literacy is well embedded across the school; as a result the children make good progress.
Teaching is good and some outstanding
Children's behaviour and safety is good and the school deploys a high number of staff in each year group to ensure children are safe and well cared for.
