Check the area around this school
178th of 203 primary schools in Surrey we can score, 296 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.0/10 against 1,448 of them, against 2.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Broadmere Primary Academy overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The proportion reaching the higher standard was 0.0%, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.7 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023.

What Ofsted said about Broadmere Primary Academy
Overview
The report describes Broadmere Primary Academy as a welcoming school where "kindness permeates" and staff maintain "warm and trusting relationships" with pupils. Leaders have driven significant improvements, resulting in high expectations for behaviour and achievement, though the inspection notes that provision in the early years requires further strengthening.
Strengths
- Pupils are "very polite" and behave well, with playtimes described as "calm and cheerful" and bullying not being a concern.
- The curriculum is carefully planned to build progressively, with a specific focus on teaching vocabulary to support pupils who speak English as an additional language.
- Reading is taught effectively through rigorous training and a phonics programme supplemented by high-quality resources, helping pupils become "confident and proficient readers".
- The needs of the vast majority of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are met well, with staff quick to identify and provide extra help.
- Leaders demonstrate an "admirable moral imperative," providing strong pastoral support and fostering pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
Areas to improve
- Assessment, including in the early years, is not consistent or effective, meaning teachers are not always confident in knowing how secure pupils are in their understanding.
- Children in the early years do not consistently benefit from high-quality provision, with many not getting the best possible start for Year 1 due to a planned curriculum that does not meet all needs.
- Too many pupils, especially those who are disadvantaged, do not attend school regularly enough, although new staff are beginning to improve attendance.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff well trained to recognise signs of harm and leaders ensuring concerns are followed up diligently.
