About Meadhurst Primary School

Meadhurst Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 43 of its 47 places for the 2025/26 intake going to first-preference applicants. The school was oversubscribed by a ratio of 2.32, meaning more than two families applied for every available place, which signals strong parent demand. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the oversubscription figures alone suggest that many families in Spelthorne see it as a solid option. The school is led by headteacher Grace Shaw-Powell and caters to 466 pupils aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated the school Good overall, with all inspected areas — including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision — each receiving a Good rating. This marks a significant improvement from the school’s previous inspection in 2017, when it was rated Inadequate.
