About Broadfield Primary School

Broadfield Primary School is clearly a popular choice among Oldham families, with 51 first-preference applications for 45 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.73. That means nearly two families wanted each spot, a strong signal of local confidence. Parent-experience data isn’t published for this school, but the demand speaks for itself. Headteacher Elizabeth Moran leads a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 2 to 11, with 388 pupils on roll against a capacity of 399. The school has held a Good rating from Ofsted across its two most recent graded inspections, with leadership and management also rated Good in the last full inspection.
