About Meadlands Primary School

Meadlands Primary School is a primary school in Richmond upon Thames, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 225 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 87% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). Performance is little changed year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 8% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 109 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 16% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Meadlands Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 17 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.7%. There are about 18.1 pupils per teacher. Meadlands Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
