We have some electrifying news to share! Following a brilliant performance in the Quiz Club Science General Knowledge area heats, we are thrilled to announce that one of our teams has secured a spot in the national finals.

Competing against over 44 schools, our team—comprising two talented pupils from Year 5 and two from Year 6—showed incredible teamwork and expertise to win their heat outright. This victory earns them a prestigious invitation to Oxford University on 29th June.

We hope all our pupils have enjoyed the journey through the Maths Championship and Science heats so far. Please join us in congratulating our young scientists as they prepare to represent Saracens Broadfields on the national stage.

Debating Club In The Final!

/in /by

We are thrilled to announce that the Saracens Broadfields Debate Club has reached the grand final of the prestigious Cicero Cup. After a brilliant performance in the semi-finals on 3rd March, our talented pupils have secured a spot in the top eight teams across the entire UK.

This is a truly incredible achievement, especially as our club only began in 2024. In the upcoming final this June, our Year 5 and 6 debaters will be competing against some of the most elite private schools in the country. To have reached this level is a testament to our children’s hard work, confidence, and sharp oracy skills.

From tackling tough motions on mandatory military service to judging our recent ‘teachers’ debate,’ our members have shown fantastic dedication. We are immensely proud of their progress and look forward to cheering them on in the final. GO SARRIES!

World Book Day

/in /by

World Book Day is always a spectacular highlight of our school year, and this year was no exception! Our corridors were filled with colour and imagination as children and staff alike dressed in incredible costumes to celebrate the joy of reading.

We were especially thrilled to welcome Saracens first-team player, Alec Clarey, to our school. Alec spent the morning visiting classrooms, listening to the children read, and chatting about their favourite books. He was very impressed by our pupils’ reading skills and enthusiasm.

It was a memorable day that truly brought the magic of stories to life!

 

Wallace Collection

/in /by

In January, our pupils enjoyed a wonderful trip to The Wallace Collection. We explored the incredible treasures of the Wallace family, including stunning furniture, intricate jewellery, and world-class paintings.

A true highlight was gaining exclusive access to a private area. There, the children studied Canaletto’s famous views of Venice—originally painted as souvenirs for wealthy travelers. Inspired by his precision, the group practiced sketching their favorite details from these masterpieces.

As one pupil put it: ‘I can’t believe that one family were able to collect so many amazing things!’

It was an unforgettable day of art and history.

National Gallery

/in /by

Our recent trip to the National Gallery was a resounding success! The children transformed into art detectives, sharpening their observation skills to uncover hidden stories within world-famous masterpieces.

A highlight was exploring Henri Rousseau’s Tiger in a Tropical Storm. By hunting for visual clues, the students noticed the tiger’s startled expression. This sparked a fantastic debate: was the creature jumping at a bolt of lightning, or perhaps the distant crack of a hunter’s gun?

The experience was elevated by our brilliant guide. As one child put it: ‘I have seen some amazing things and the guide was great and intelligent.’

British Library

/in /by

Our pupils enjoyed a thrilling trip to the British Library to explore the ‘Secret Maps’ exhibition. It was far from a standard geography lesson! The children discovered how maps have been used to hide secrets and share stories throughout history.

They saw everything from ancient medieval charts to complex routes used by famous shipping companies. The highlight for many was a clever silk map hidden on a pair of WWII knickers—designed to help pilots escape if they were captured!

As one pupil put it: ‘I never knew maps could be so interesting!’
