Broadmeadow Infant School
About Broadmeadow Infant School
Broadmeadow Infant School in Birmingham received an Inadequate rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a significant downgrade from the Good rating it had held in its previous inspection a decade earlier. The inspection report paints a stark picture: leadership and management, along with personal development, were both judged Inadequate, while the quality of education and behaviour and attitudes were rated Requires improvement. Early years provision also sits at Requires improvement. For a school that caters to children aged 3 to 7, the early years judgement is particularly telling. The school’s headteacher, Kevin Medway, faces a considerable challenge in turning things around. With no published Key Stage 2 SATs results available — the school only goes up to Year 2 — the most informative academic metric is the Ofsted breakdown itself, which signals serious weaknesses across the board.
