About Brookland Junior School

Brookland Junior School in Broxbourne is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and it is currently running very close to full capacity with 323 pupils against a published capacity of 330. That near-full roll is a practical signal of local demand, and it is worth noting that 28.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools and suggests a genuinely mixed intake in terms of family income. The school has no religious character and is a mixed, non-selective setting, so it draws from the full breadth of its local community. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2021, rated the school Good overall, with Good marks for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. That is a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2017, when it was rated Requires Improvement across the board, so the school has demonstrably turned things around under headteacher Mandeep Barton.
