About Broomhill Primary School

Broomhill Primary School, a small state primary in Northumberland, serves just 72 pupils from ages 2 to 11, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2009. While the school does not publish its own Key Stage 2 SATs results in this data, the local authority average for primary schools sits at 56, which provides a useful benchmark for parents comparing outcomes. The school’s journey from Requires Improvement to Good suggests stronger leadership and teaching quality than its earlier performance indicated, though without its own KS2 scores, it is impossible to say whether it exceeds or falls short of the LA average. What is clear is that Broomhill is a popular choice locally: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 18 applications for just 5 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.6, and all 5 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This level of demand hints at a reputation that outpaces its modest size.
