Check the area around this school
113rd of 229 primary schools in Nottinghamshire we can score, 286 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.4/10 against 951 of them, against 4.7/10 nationally. 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Broomhill Junior School
Overview
Broomhill Junior School continues to be a good school, described as a happy environment where pupils feel part of the ‘Broomhill family’. The report highlights positive relationships, high behavioural expectations, and a curriculum that is generally well sequenced to support pupil progress.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a ‘welcoming and colourful learning environment’ and enjoy a wide range of extra-curricular clubs.
- Early reading and phonics are given high priority, ensuring pupils gain the knowledge needed to ‘read fluently’.
- The curriculum in mathematics and personal, social and health education is ‘well sequenced’, helping pupils understand fundamental British values and stay healthy.
- Provision for pupils with special educational needs is ‘carefully tracked’, with staff receiving extensive training to support these learners effectively.
- Parents and carers hold ‘extremely positive views’ of the school, working together to achieve the best outcomes for children.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the writing curriculum ‘identifies the key knowledge that pupils must gain’ and enables sequential development, as this is currently less well developed than other subjects.
- Leaders must build on existing work to reduce pupil absence, as ‘too many pupils do not attend school as often as they should’, which hampers learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with robust recruitment processes, thorough records, and staff who know how to make appropriate referrals.
