These describe the surroundings, never the site. Three distances, each for a reason: 500 metres is the streets nearest the gate, about six minutes' walk; a kilometre takes in the routes in; a mile is the area UK Crime Statistics ranks against every other mile in England and Wales.

Harm and risk outside the home (ROTH) across Camden

Harm and risk outside the home (ROTH): share of assessments, Camden against England, the widest gap above England first

Camden England

  • Gangs 1.8% against 1.7%
  • Child criminal exploitation 3.1% against 3.2%
  • Child sexual exploitation 1.8% against 2.4%
  • Sexual abuse by another child 1.5% against 2.5%
  • Physical abuse by another child 1.9% against 3%
  • Going missing 1.6% against 3.3%

This describes what social workers record for the whole authority, never this school or its children, and a higher share can reflect better identification as easily as more harm. For a nursery school these figures matter most for older brothers and sisters and for the families staff see at the door.

About this school's place in the register

Broadhurst School is listed in the Department for Education's register of schools, Get Information About Schools, under unique reference number 100081. Its type in the register is "Other independent school", in the group the Department calls "Independent schools". Its UK provider reference number is 10070526. The register was last checked on 7 November 2026, and this entry last changed on 2 November 2026.

The statutory age range is 2 to 5: every child is brought to the door by an adult, so the context that matters is the streets families use and the places the nursery visits. The intake is recorded as mixed. At the last school census 77 pupils were on roll. The register holds a website address for the school, linked below.

The school is in England, at postcode NW6 3LP. Its grid reference is easting 526211, northing 184422, which is latitude 51.5446 and longitude -0.1813. That point is the centre of everything the safeguarding context report measures: the streets within a short walk, the parks, stops and stations nearby, the roads at the gate, and the neighbourhood statistics that surround it.

Broadhurst School sits in the Camden local authority area, which has 94 open establishments in the register. The local authority is one of the three statutory safeguarding partners, with the integrated care board and the police, who together publish the local safeguarding arrangements and the threshold document a school's child protection policy refers to; the authority also sets out its early help offer, so the same authority context applies to every school in Camden.

The nearest schools in the register to Broadhurst School are Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, NW3 (about 300 metres away), South Hampstead High School GDST (about 340 metres away), Alleyns Hampstead Nursery and Junior School (about 420 metres away), Southbank International School Hampstead (about 550 metres away) and The UCL Academy (about 730 metres away). Distances are straight lines between grid references, not walking routes. Schools close together share many of the same streets, stops and parks, but each page and report is measured from that school's own site.
