About Broadoak Primary School

Broadoak Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results put it well ahead of the Salford average. Across reading, writing and maths, 92% of pupils met the expected standard, compared with a local authority average of 61% for primary schools. That gap of 31 percentage points is striking, and it places Broadoak first out of 65 primary schools in Salford. The school also ranks in the top 2% nationally for this measure. At the higher standard, 18% of pupils achieved the top scores across all three subjects, while 52% hit the higher mark in maths alone. Reading and writing scores at the higher level were 45% and 22% respectively. These are strong figures for a state primary, and they reflect a school that consistently outperforms its neighbours. Broadoak’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in April 2024, awarded it Outstanding across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That’s a clean sweep, and it matches the school’s previous Outstanding rating from 2009.
