Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Broadgate Primary School creates a warm, engaging learning environment where pupils become happy and confident learners. The school excels at supporting all children including those with SEND and disadvantaged pupils through carefully scaffolded learning and enriching experiences. Leadership is strong, with effective systems to check teaching quality and ensure no child falls behind.

Key Strengths

  • Early years provision has improved significantly with children developing independence and confidence in well-established routines
  • More able pupils now reach higher standards in line with national averages, with extension tasks and focused small group teaching
  • Curriculum is enriching and engaging, with exciting activities that motivate pupils to work hard
  • Teachers quickly identify and support pupils who have not grasped concepts through focused catch-up teaching
  • Strong safeguarding arrangements with effective staff training and support for vulnerable families

Areas for Improvement

  • Pupil attendance rates remain well above national average with rising persistent absence despite intervention efforts
  • Challenge for most able pupils is inconsistent and not embedded in day-to-day teaching
  • Girls lack confidence in mathematics and struggle with time pressures
  • Reasoning and investigation skills are not developed consistently across all subjects, particularly in topic-based work
  • Progression of skills in history and geography not given same detailed attention as core subjects

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective with all arrangements fit for purpose, regular staff training on signs of harm, and strong relationships with external agencies for quick referrals and support of vulnerable pupils and families.

Extracurricular Activities

clubs and groups to support pupils with difficulties, family mentor support, learning mentors

Broadgate Primary School continues to be good. The leadership team has maintained quality education and successfully addressed previous areas for improvement, particularly in early years provision and ensuring more able pupils reach higher standards.
