About Broomley First School

Broomley First School sits within Northumberland’s primary landscape, a local authority with 127 primary schools of which nine currently hold an Outstanding rating. The school itself is rated Good following its most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2024, placing it in the solid middle tier of provision in the area. Among its closest peers by ranking score, Eastlea Primary School leads at 82, followed by Belsay Primary School at 81 and St Aidan’s Catholic Primary School, Ashington at 80. Broomley is a small, mixed-gender state primary for children aged 5 to 9, with just 115 pupils on roll against a capacity of 150. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is notably low at 1.7%, well below the national average, which gives a sense of the local demographic. Headteacher Katie Jacobs leads a school that, while no longer rated Outstanding as it was in its 2012 inspection, has maintained a Good rating across all five Ofsted categories in its most recent graded visit.
