How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 Broughton Fields Primary School
Overview
Broughton Fields Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are described as “kind, courteous and respectful” and “enthusiastic to learn.” Leaders provide a “broad and ambitious” curriculum with high expectations for behaviour, resulting in pupils who are “happy, feeling safe and secure” and take pride in their achievements.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “carefully sequenced,” particularly in mathematics and computing, ensuring pupils build knowledge effectively and achieve well.
- Early years staff are “adept at promoting children’s communication and language,” with a well-organised phonics programme that helps children quickly learn new sounds.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “fully included in all aspects of school life” and receive tailored support to access the same learning as their peers.
- Staff feel “very well looked after and supported” regarding workload and well-being, while parents are “overwhelmingly supportive” of the care and encouragement provided.
- Leaders have developed a “values-based approach” that helps pupils thrive in their personal development, including opportunities for leadership and community involvement.
Areas to improve
- Some pupils struggling to read have “limited opportunities to read books that match the sounds that they know,” requiring more frequent practice with decodable texts.
- Governors do not always work together effectively or possess the necessary skills, meaning they lack a “sufficiently accurate understanding of the education provided for pupils.”
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders creating a “robust safeguarding culture” and staff reporting concerns promptly.
