Broadford Makes Top 100!

In 2011 Broadford Primary was ranked in the lowest 10% of all schools for progress in Reading, Writing and Maths. Only 64% of Pupil Premium pupils made the expected progress compared to the National figure of 75%. However in 2015, for the third consecutive year Broadford has managed to be ranked in the top 1% of all schools nationally for the progress it's pupils make - a stunning turnaround in performance. In 2014 the school ranked #1 for Reading and All Subjects and made the top 300. Now in 2015 they are also ranked #1 for Maths as well and have made it into the top 100 schools in the country.

 We are particularly proud that the performance of our White British children significantly outstrips the national figure. Our score of 102.4 against 99.8 means that we are giving our pupils the best possible start for when they get to Secondary School. The last three years of being ranked #1 for Reading are a direct consequence of the systematic way that reading is taught across the school and the way a cultre of reading has been established. We are one of the only Primary schools in Havering to have a full time librarian and regular author visits and reading events. The impact has been tremendous.
 Malcolm Drakes - Headteacher

The school also makes highly effective use of the funding for Pupil Premium children as they made progress of 103.2 compared to a National figure of 99.8.

 We are extremely proud of the pupils' achievements. It is a result of the hardwork of them, the staff, Governors and parents. Each year we have set ourselves high standards to reach and we all work together as a school community to reach those aspirational goals. To have this sort of recognition from the Minister for Schools is fantastic!
Mrs Gill Gordon - Chair of Governors
