Every child who put Meadow Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Location

Meadow Primary School at a glance

Located in Cambridgeshire, Meadow Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. The school educates roughly 207 pupils aged 3 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 3.0 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 top 32% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 13% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Meadow Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 32 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 3.5%. There are about 20.4 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 12% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Meadow 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.
