About Broadlands Primary School

Broadlands Primary School in Herefordshire is a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 19 applications for just 11 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.73. Ten of those applications were first-preference choices, and the school made ten first-preference offers, meaning almost every family who put it top got a place, but there was still competition for the remaining spot. That kind of demand is a strong signal from parents who know the school well. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated it Good across the board, including for behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. That’s a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2019, when it was judged to require improvement overall. Headteacher Simon Robertson leads a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 2 to 11, with 165 pupils on roll against a capacity of 315, so there is room to grow.
