Hi! Wondering if there are any parents out there who would be willing to share their experiences of either Broomwood or Thomas's (specifically looking at Fulham.) We have an offer for both for our DS and feeling very undecided. TIA!

I have had children at both.

Had good and bad experiences at both, but the boys school (8+) tends to be a collection place for badly behaved boys, some with real issues. Reception at Broomwood had brilliant teachers, but then they really fell away in subsequent years. I didn’t notice that with Thomas, who seemed far more consistent.

Thomas isn’t perfect either, but if you think you child will fit in then I would go for that as it had far fewer issues than Broomwood.

Hi - could you please share more about your experience? We’re currently at the Prep school but have started seeing some worrying signs around bullying, and the school doing nothing about it.

I can’t believe we’d be the only ones but I can’t find any other threads or reviews talking about it.
