About Broughton Moor Primary School

Broughton Moor Primary School is a small state primary in Cumberland that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received seven applications for just three available places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.33. All three first-preference families were offered a spot, but with more applicants than places overall, it is a school where demand outstrips supply. The school has a nursery provision for children aged two and up, and currently has 70 pupils on roll against a capacity of 84. Around 13.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools. The headteacher is Dale Bromley, and the school is mixed, non-religious, and serves the Cumberland local authority area.
