Broadbottom Church of England Primary School
About Broadbottom Church of England Primary School
Broadbottom Church of England Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2021. Every assessed area — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was judged to be Good. But the standout metric is in the school’s Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year: 100% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure places Broadbottom first out of 57 primary schools in Tameside, and 35th nationally out of 13,686 schools. For context, the local authority average for the same combined measure is just 62%, so this small village school is performing at an exceptionally high level.
