Ofsted and academic performance
Broadland has been regularly judged as "good" for overall performance. In its 2011 inspection Ofsted said, "This is a good school that is improving. Leaders are relatively new in post and have successfully embedded a momentum of improvement that is showing both in achievement and standards. The school has rightly prioritised the improvement of teaching and learning together with accurate and well-developed self-assessment and improvement processes. The school is demonstrating a good capacity for sustained improvement and the governing body supports the school well".[1]
Results for 2013 showed a marked improvement on previous years, with an increase of 9% on last year's A*-C including English and Maths.[2]
