About Broomfields Junior School

Broomfields Junior School was rated Good overall by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2024, but the detail tells a more interesting story. The school earned Outstanding ratings for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes, which suggests a strong focus on how children grow as individuals and how they conduct themselves in school. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 63 per cent. That is below the Warrington local authority average of 69 per cent, and it places Broomfields 37th out of 69 primary schools in the borough. In the national rankings, the school sits around the middle, at the 51st percentile. This is a school where the pastoral and behavioural side is clearly a strength, but academic outcomes at the expected level are more mixed compared with local peers.
