About Meadowbrook Primary School

Meadowbrook Primary School in South Gloucestershire is a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11, currently home to 351 pupils against a capacity of 390. That leaves a little breathing room, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 134 applications for 59 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.27. Only 39 of those applications were first-preference offers, suggesting that while the school is popular, many families who put it first did secure a spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.7%, which is slightly below the national average for primary schools, indicating a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools nationally. Headteacher Will Ferris leads a school that draws families from across the local area, and the numbers suggest it is a well-regarded choice among parents navigating the South Gloucestershire admissions system.
