Broadfield Primary School

Broadfield Primary School serves just under 400 pupils in the Hathershaw area of Oldham. It also provides nursery education for pupils from 2 years of age. After working with partners in The Pinnacle Learning Trust for many years, the school has chosen to convert to become an academy and to join The Pinnacle Learning Trust from 1st April 2023. This has been very positively received by staff and the school’s local community. Last inspected in November 2018, and judged as Good, the school is oversubscribed and very well respected. We are proud of the Broadfield Values; celebrating diversity and inclusion in addition to having high expectations and excellent pastoral provision.

Broadfield Primary School is welcoming and friendly and our central focus is a commitment to ensuring that all our pupils achieve their full potential and become lifelong learners. Our children are happy, enthusiastic and want to learn. We celebrate diversity and teach children to recognise and respect people’s differences as well as similarities. We have a strong training and CPD programme, opportunities to develop your skills and a solid, supportive team of staff and Governors who have fostered a caring and welcoming atmosphere at the school. We are seeking to appoint a hard-working, conscientious and self-motivated individual to join our school team.
