About Meridian Primary School

Meridian Primary School in Greenwich was rated Good overall by Ofsted in its most recent 2022 inspection, but the detail tells a more interesting story. The school earned Outstanding marks in three of the four graded categories: early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. Leadership and management, along with quality of education, were both rated Good. This represents an improvement from the school's previous inspection in 2011, when it was rated Good overall but with early years provision at a lower grade. On the most telling exam metric, 83% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That puts Meridian well above the Greenwich local authority average of 71% and places the school 5th out of 57 primary schools in the borough, comfortably inside the top 10% nationally.
