A friendly, positive attitude will enable you to fit into our dedicated team.  Our top priority is always ensuring that the needs of the pupils come first. Broughton has a strong tradition of high quality provision for ensuring that any child with a learning difficulty is given the maximum level of relevant support in and out of the classroom.

    Broughton is a successful, heavily oversubscribed school. We have a highly experienced staff, supportive parents and marvellous, well-behaved children who are a delight to teach. Many staff come to Broughton and stay for many, many years because of the ‘family atmosphere’ and because they genuinely like working here. Standards are exceptionally high. Following an Ofsted inspection in September 2022, Broughton was judged an outstanding school in every single category. It is a happy, friendly school in which to work and learn and is situated in a pleasant rural location north of Preston, within easy reach of the motorway network.
