About Broadway Junior School

Broadway Junior School, a state primary in Sunderland for children aged 7 to 11, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 64% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just below the Sunderland local authority average of 67%, placing the school 42nd out of 73 similar primaries in the area. While the school is not among the top tier locally, its performance is solidly mid-table, and the Ofsted team, following an ungraded inspection in October 2023, confirmed that the school continues to deserve its Good rating, with leadership and management also judged Good.
