Meadow Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 November 2025

Pupils are happy at this inclusive and welcoming school and attend well. They benefit from positive relationships with warm and caring staff. Pupils know there are trusted adults who they can speak to about any worries or concerns. This fosters a deep sense of safety and belonging. Pupils enjoy learning new information and appreciate the many worthwhile learning opportunities that the school provides. The school identifies any barriers to learning quickly and puts in place effective support. This ensures that pupils across the school, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who are disadvantaged, achieve well. Children in the early years are well prepared for key stage 1, and pupils in Year 6 are typically ready for their secondary education. Pupils are kind and considerate. They are supportive of one another and know what it means to be a good friend. Pupils play cooperatively with each other at breaktimes. They move around the school sensibly, demonstrating high levels of courtesy towards staff and visitors. The school encourages pupils to develop hobbies and interests alongside their academic learning. Pupils value the vast range of opportunities on offer beyond the academic curriculum. For instance, pupils speak positively about sporting events and judo lessons. The school provides many opportunities for pupils to take on positions of responsibility, for example acting as members of the school council and play leaders. This helps pupils to develop communication skills and empathy. Pupils benefit from plentiful opportunities to learn how to stay safe and to protect their wellbeing. For example, they know how to keep safe online and how to maintain their physical health. Pupils learn about the differences between people, including religion and the make-up of different families. They learn the importance of treating everyone with respect. These experiences prepare pupils well for life in modern Britain.

What the school should improve

• Leaders should ensure that pupils are consistently well supported to develop greater accuracy and expertise in their writing, so they are able to apply this knowledge effectively across different subjects.
