Social Clubs
Broadleaf runs three social groups each week, offering a space for families to spend quality time together, with options for enrichment activities if they wish to join in:
Wednesday Mornings
For ages 12–16
9.30am–12.30pm
Our Wednesday sessions offer a welcoming space for teens and their families, with a focus on confidence, connection, and community.
There’s time to socialise in a supportive environment, plus optional activities ranging from practical life skills to creative and interest-based projects.
Over the past year we’ve explored ethics, dived into maths, tackled engineering challenges, built spaghetti bridges, written letters to our future selves—and much more!
Friday Mornings
For ages 12–16
9.30am–12.30pm
Fridays offer the same welcoming mix as Wednesdays—a friendly space for families to connect, share time together, and build community.
We regularly welcome inspiring visitors and workshops, from police and animal encounters to vintage buses, creative sessions, and even maypole dancing!
Highlights from the past year include building a show garden with BBC Gardener’s World and Culture in Common, writing a novel with the Southbank Centre, and visiting the Turner Sims Theatre.
Friday Mornings – Acorns
For ages 0–12
10am–12pm
Acorns is a relaxed, free-flow group for Home Educating families with children under 12. With three acres of meadow, toys, games, and plenty of outdoor fun, it’s a welcoming space where children can play and adults can connect.
It’s a drop-in group—come along, explore the allotment, get messy in the mud kitchen, share biscuits, or simply enjoy time together in the meadow.
This term, some Acorns families have also organised an optional Musical Theatre club after the session, sparking creativity while building confidence and self-esteem.
This coming Autumn Term, we are focusing on the following projects:
