Broadway First School
About Broadway First School
Broadway First School sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 61, but the school itself does not have published KS2 results in the data, so a direct comparison isn't possible. What is clear from the numbers is that this is a small, popular school. With just 71 pupils against a capacity of 110, it is not full, yet it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 27 applications for 16 places and offering 15 of those to first-preference families. That oversubscription ratio of 1.69 suggests strong local demand, even if the school's headline academic metrics aren't available to benchmark against the Worcestershire average. The school has a higher-than-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 15.5%, which is worth noting for parents considering the school's inclusivity and the support it may offer.
