About Meath Green Junior School

Meath Green Junior School, a state primary for ages 7 to 11 in Reigate and Banstead, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2015 and an ungraded visit in October 2024 that confirmed standards are maintained. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 70%. That figure places it above the Surrey local authority average of 66% for similar schools, and ranks it 6th out of 21 primary schools within Reigate and Banstead. In the wider South East region, it sits in the top 28% of schools, and nationally it ranks in the top 30%. The school’s leadership and management were also rated Good in the 2015 inspection, a notable improvement from the Requires Improvement rating it received in 2013.

Looking at the individual Key Stage 2 results from 2023/24, the school’s strongest subject is maths, where 83% of pupils met the expected standard and the average scaled score reached 106. Reading followed closely, with 77% at the expected level and an average score of 105. Writing saw 76% of pupils reach the expected standard. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard across all three subjects was 7%, with maths again leading the way at 24% reaching the higher threshold, compared to 31% in reading and 12% in writing. The school does not have published progress scores for reading, writing or maths, so it is not possible to compare how much value it adds relative to pupils’ starting points. Parent feedback from the Ofsted Parent View survey, based on 52 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, was overwhelmingly positive: 88% would recommend the school, and 94% agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy there.

The school operates close to capacity, with 350 pupils on roll against a published capacity of 360. It offers a range of facilities including a sports hall, playing fields, music rooms, an ICT suite, art studios, a sensory room and a forest school area. Clubs include chess, art, gardening, science and book club, while sports provision covers swimming, football, dance and gymnastics. The school’s SEND provisions are set up to support pupils with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. However, the Parent View data on SEND support is more mixed: while 58% of respondents strongly agreed that the school gives SEND children the support they need, 25% strongly disagreed, and 8% disagreed. This suggests that while many families are very satisfied, a minority feel provision falls short. Meath Green Junior School is a solid, well-regarded local option for families in Reigate and Banstead who want above-average academic outcomes in a Good-rated setting, but those with children requiring SEND support may want to investigate further.
