Meridian Primary School

About Meridian Primary School

Meridian Primary School's headline Key Stage 2 results sit above the local authority average for Cambridgeshire, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 58%. That nine-point gap is a solid achievement for a school of just 190 pupils, and it places Meridian in the top half of primary schools in South Cambridgeshire, ranking 18th out of 55. The picture is more mixed when you look at the higher standard: only 3% of pupils achieved that top tier in all three subjects, though reading stands out with 55% reaching the higher bar, well ahead of maths (30%) and writing (6%). The school's average reading score of 108 and maths score of 105 are both above the national benchmark of 100. However, these academic results sit in tension with the school's most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in September 2024, which rated overall effectiveness as not judged but found every assessed area — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — to require improvement.
