About Saracens Broadfields

Saracens Broadfields, a large state primary in Barnet, serves a notably diverse intake and its headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the local authority average. While 66% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, the Barnet average for the same measure is 73%. This places the school in the bottom half of the borough, ranked 60th out of 91 primary schools. However, context matters: over 41% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average, and the school is oversubscribed, receiving 112 applications for 63 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2025 judged that standards were being maintained at Good, with leadership and management, early years provision and overall effectiveness all rated Good. The previous graded inspection in 2015 also awarded Good, so the school has held a consistent rating over time.
