About Burleigh Primary School

Burleigh Primary School, a state primary in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2012. The school’s leadership and management were also judged Good. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stood at 58% in the 2023/24 academic year. This is below the local authority average of 64%, placing Burleigh 17th out of 26 primary schools in Broxbourne and in the bottom half nationally.
