Welcome to Crown Meadow First School and Nursery. We believe that it is the children of Crown Meadow that are the most important thing about us. We value them greatly and recognise that they are all individuals with their own role to play in our school community.
We understand that it is important to create an environment in school that supports the children in feeling fulfilled, safe and secure. We have high expectations of everyone in all aspects of school life including our vital partnership with their families.
We understand that when school and families work closely together; they are in agreement and both share the same values, that children thrive. Crown Meadow is an inclusive, nurturing and community-facing 2 form entry first school that aims to provide a high-quality education for children from 2 to 9 years old.
Our location, in the heart of Alvechurch village, provides us with an ideal setting and our purpose-built campus, which we share with Alvechurch Library and Alvechurch Middle School, is modern and spacious.
