About Meadowbank Primary School

Meadowbank Primary School sits within Wigan local authority, a borough with 99 primary schools where it currently ranks 76th on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the bottom half of local primaries, some distance behind the area's top performers such as Nicol Mere School, Gilded Hollins Community School and Standish St Wilfrid's Church of England Primary Academy. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11, with no religious character and a nursery on site. Headteacher Nichola Hill leads a school of 229 pupils, operating below its capacity of 258. The most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2023 rated the school Good overall, with Good across every category including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. That rating has been consistent since the previous inspection in 2013, which also awarded Good.
