Meadow Primary School

School overview

Meadow Primary School is a primary school serving Ellesmere Port, Cheshire West and Chester, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 425 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. 75% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 15.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 44% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 95% of the families who made Meadow Primary School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 5% 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.
