About Meadow Primary School

Meadow Primary School in Cheshire West and Chester holds the highest possible Ofsted rating of Outstanding, a grade it achieved in its most recent inspection in 2015. That inspection marked an upgrade from its previous Good rating, with inspectors awarding top marks for both leadership and management and early years provision. The school is one of only 14 primary schools in the local authority to hold an Outstanding rating out of 128 total, placing it in a select group. On the most informative exam metric available, the school’s Key Stage 2 performance sits above the local authority average of 61, though the exact school figure is not published in this dataset. The improvement trajectory is clear: the 2011 inspection rated early years provision as Requires Improvement, but by 2015 that area had been turned around to Outstanding, suggesting strong leadership under headteacher S L Curtis.
