About Broadford Primary School

Broadford Primary School in Havering holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained across both its last two inspections. The most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined result: just 54% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. This places the school 40th out of 49 primary schools in the local authority, well below the Havering average of 65%. Nationally, the school sits in the bottom 50 by this measure. Individual subject scores offer a more nuanced picture: the average reading score was 103 and maths 102, both just above the national baseline of 100, and 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths specifically. However, only 2% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, compared with 25% in reading and 16% in maths. Writing remains a particular challenge, with just 5% reaching the higher threshold.
