About The Meadows Primary School
The Meadows Primary School is a primary school in Oswestry, Shropshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 267 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 49% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That is down 6.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 101 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). The Meadows Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 34 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 4.3%. There are about 20.5 pupils per teacher. The Meadows 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.
