"Pupils’ behaviour has improved significantly. Leaders’ high expectations, a clear behaviour policy and effective training have strengthened staff expertise in behaviour management. Pupils understand what is expected of them and typically behave well."

" In lessons, they work hard, follow instructions and show positive attitudes to learning. They are polite, respectful and demonstrate excellent manners. "

"Leaders at Broomhill prioritise inclusion. They have implemented a range of improvements that are benefiting pupils who face barriers to learning and/or wellbeing. Leaders work closely with external professionals to identify the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) accurately. "

"As a result of leaders’ decisive and timely actions, the school is improving. Leaders have an accurate understanding of the school’s strengths and have worked effectively to improve pupils’ behaviour and develop a more inclusive culture. The school is calm and classrooms are productive."

Our Ofsted inspection report, which provides a comprehensive evaluation of the school’s standards, leadership, and overall provision about our school’s performance and achievements can be accessed via the documet at the bottom of the page. Please familiarise yourself with the new ofsted Framework that was introduced at the end of 2025

New Ofsted framework - a guide for parents and carers

Ofsted introduced a new inspection framework in November 2025, bringing significant changes to how inspection outcomes are shared with families.

Under this new system, schools no longer receive a single overall grade. Instead, they are given a detailed Report Card, which sets out how they are performing across several key areas of school life.

The new approach aims to provide families with a clearer, more informative picture of a school’s strengths and the areas it is continuing to develop.

Report Cards

The report cards will give a detailed overview of how the school is performing in each of the following areas.

• Attendance and behaviour 
• Achievement
• Curriculum and teaching
• Inclusion 
• Personal development and wellbeing 
• Leadership and Governance
• Early Years (where applicable)
• Sixth Form (where applicable)

New Ofsted grading system

The main change is that Ofsted no longer give one overall judgement, such as ‘good’, ‘outstanding’ or ‘requires improvement’.

Instead, the report cards show colour-coded grades for different areas – the aspects of education that matter most to you, like ‘attendance and behaviour’, ‘achievement’, ‘personal development and well-being’, and ‘inclusion’ (meaning how well the school or other provider meets the needs of all children).

Ofsted also tell you whether safeguarding responsibilities are ‘met’ or ‘not met’.

It’s important to understand that the new grades can’t be compared to the old ones: this is a different approach to inspection and a new way of reporting to you.

Schools may receive a range of grades across the different areas inspected.

Inspectors now look for clear evidence that the full standard has been met before awarding a grade. In the past, a school might receive a grade if most of the criteria were met. Under the new approach, a school may be very close to the next standard but still need to strengthen one or two aspects of its work before that grade is awarded.
