About Broad Oak Primary School

Broad Oak Primary School in Manchester has turned a corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, the school was rated Good across all five categories — overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. That marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2022, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall, with the quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management all graded as Requires Improvement. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. At 60%, this is just above the Manchester local authority average of 57%, placing Broad Oak 51st out of 122 primary schools in the borough. While that puts it in the bottom half of the LA, the school is within striking distance of the top half, and the upward trajectory in its Ofsted rating suggests momentum is building.
