About The Meadow Community Primary School

The Meadow Community Primary School in Oadby and Wigston is a mixed state primary for ages 2 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. With 390 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is running close to full, and the demand is evident from its oversubscribed status for the 2025/26 intake. The school received 130 total applications for just 56 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.32, with 47 first-preference offers made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 22.1%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools, suggesting the school serves a relatively diverse socioeconomic catchment. The school does not have a religious character, and it offers nursery provision for children from age 2, making it a practical option for families seeking continuity from early years through to Year 6.
