About The Broxbourne School
The Broxbourne School Badgers Walk, Broxbourne Hertfordshire EN10 7FU United Kingdom Our aim as a school is to raise pupils' expectations and standards of achievement and develop in our pupils the qualities of resilience, kindness and empathy. We encourage pupils to have high aspirations and encourage them to reach the very highest levels of personal achievement. We provide extensive extra-curricular opportunities and provide a high-quality learning environment which encourages them to succeed. We wish to provide achievement and opportunity for all the pupils in our care. We provide an excellent academic education within a caring and supportive environment. The school was inspected by Ofsted in June 2024 and was graded “outstanding” in every category. Our aim as a school is to maintain these high standards and to continue to improve further the quality of our provision. FACILITIES We moved into our new, state of the art £30 million school in April 2021 with additional sixth form, business and T-level accommodation opened in September 2022. THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT Broxbourne is situated in Hertfordshire close to the A10 about 5 miles north of the M25. The school occupies a large attractive site in the Green Belt. The school is a short walk from Broxbourne Station from where there are trains to London Liverpool Street, Cambridge and Hertford. The school receives pupils from Broxbourne, Wormley, Hoddesdon and Cheshunt and the surrounding villages. PUPILS The school's planned admission number has increased to 240 from September 2022. The school is held in very high regard in the community and is always considerably oversubscribed. Although the majority of our students come from four partner schools, we admit students from over twenty local primary schools. 997 parents stated a preference for a Year 7 place in September 2024. There are currently 1418 pupils on roll which includes a Sixth Form of 270. Pupils are friendly and well-behaved and are proud of the school. In our recent inspection, Ofsted found that, “pupils treat each other with the highest levels of respect and tolerance” and that “pupils take responsibility for doing the right things, including behaving well, even when no one is watching”. Many visitors compliment us on the quality of relationships in the school. The atmosphere in the school is such that teachers can teach and pupils can learn. THE CURRICULUM Ofsted described how “the school has developed an extremely ambitious curriculum. This curriculum allows pupils to study and achieve well in both academic and vocational courses.” We are proud of our curriculum which has been carefully designed by our expert staff. Currently, Key Stage 3 pupils are arranged in mixed ability form groups. Each year group is then blocked for different subjects and classes are taught in a mixture of sets and mixed ability classes. At Key Stage 4, which begins in the summer term of Year 9, the school offers pupils considerable choice. The compulsory core consists of English, Maths, Science, RSE, PSHE and PE. Pupils then choose option subjects from a wide range which includes vocational courses. In Years 12 and 13 the school offers 25 A-levels. About 74% of sixth form students enter Higher Education each year, with most securing their first-choice university. An increasing number successfully embark on high level graduate apprenticeships with institutions such as KPMG, the BBC and the Bank of England. GOVERNANCE The school converted to Academy status in January 2011 and operates its own admissions policy. We were also extremely pleased that Ofsted recognised the quality of our governors referring to how “Trustees have a precise understanding of the school”. The school is in a very strong financial position and as a result finance is available for curricular and other developments. STAFFING Teachers demonstrate high expectations for learning and they plan varied activities that cater for the full range of pupils’ learning needs and interests, including for the most able. Teachers have many training opportunities to improve the quality of teaching including participation in the Teaching and Learning Group, the Educator Leadership Development Project (ELDP) or breakfast meetings at the fifteen minute Friday Fortnightly Forums; sharing best practice in the school’s blog or termly newsletter; visits from external speakers and our own in-house teaching and learning programme. We have also supported teachers to complete master’s degrees. There is an exceptional sense of team work. We believe the school is so successful because accountability operates within an atmosphere of openness and trust throughout so that all feel they can contribute and support each other. PASTORAL SUPPORT Most teachers are form tutors. There are five Heads of Year in Years 7 to 11. The Sixth Form is led by the Assistant Head (Director of Sixth Form) supported by two Heads of Year. The school places great emphasis on good behaviour, excellent attendance, the encouragement of self-discipline and upon uniform and appearance. EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES The school offers pupils a wide range of clubs and activities both at lunchtime and after school. There are strong programmes in sport, drama and music. The sporting programme is exceptionally strong with school teams achieving success at both county and national level. Pupils engage in community service. The school has high numbers of pupils participating in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Bronze and Gold Award.
