Barnham Broom Church of England Voluntary-Aided Primary School is currently rated as requiring improvement across several key areas, including the quality of education, behaviour, and leadership. Despite having strengths in early years provision and personal development, the school's overall performance is hampered by inconsistent behavior management and the application of support strategies for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The school has faced significant challenges since its previous inspection and is working with the local authority to enhance education quality.
