Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you find it an informative and interesting place. Meadlands Primary School has been successfully educating children since 1952. Our pupils are expected to work hard and achieve their very best. They are taught by talented staff who are caring and friendly, and who have high expectations of children and themselves.
Our pupils are the key to the success of our school. We aim to ensure they are motivated by learning and offered the best opportunities that we can provide. We hope that they will be respectful and well-behaved individuals, who develop high self-esteem and independence.
We value academic and personal success, and provide a range of additional support to ensure equality of opportunity. The development of literacy, numeracy and good work habits are given high priority at Meadlands.
We are also committed to providing a rich, diverse curriculum, through music, arts and sport, set alongside our comprehensive extra-curricular programme, are key elements of this. We have also been recognised for our excellent pastoral care.
