About Broadway Academy

Broadway Academy’s Progress 8 score of 0.05 sits just below the Birmingham local authority average of 0.09, meaning pupils here make slightly less academic progress from Key Stage 2 to 4 than the typical student across the city’s secondary schools. That gap is small — barely a tenth of a grade per subject — but it places the school 47th out of 95 secondaries in Birmingham, squarely in the middle of the pack. More telling is the context: over 57% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, so the school is working with a cohort that faces significant socioeconomic challenges. The Attainment 8 score of 42.9 reflects the raw grades pupils leave with, and while that’s below the national average, the Progress 8 figure suggests students are broadly keeping pace with peers nationally once prior attainment is accounted for. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good across all categories, including behaviour and personal development, which is a solid endorsement given the demands of the intake.
