Established in 1968, Broadwater School is a co-educational comprehensive state school for students aged 11–16. This is a school with a unique ethos. We care about our students and know their hopes, dreams and aspirations. We are a school in the community for the community. Our motto ‘By Increments Conquer’ helps students realise that life is full of hurdles but with support, guidance and a little bit of grit we can overcome these to achieve our ambitions. We look to ensure that our students are developing the skills for learning as well as developing their ability to take on new challenges, and of course those all-important examinations. Our work as a lead school nationally and internationally, in Philosophy for Children, helps to develop students’ higher order thinking and questioning skills. We believe that these are the skills for life that our students need to not only succeed in school, but in their futures. Students are able to develop their characters and gifts, not only through their studies, but also through extensive opportunities in sport, drama, music and the arts. High expectations of our students, our staff and our relationships ensure that we are all able to achieve personal, social and academic success. Preparing students for their next stage and their happiness is of the upmost importance to us.
