About The Meadows Primary School

The Meadows Primary School in South Gloucestershire is a small state primary where the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (59%) sits just below the local authority average of 61%. That two-percentage-point gap is modest, but it places the school 49th out of 93 primaries in the area, putting it in the bottom half of the LA table. More telling is the comparison with the top-performing local schools: Hambrook Primary, for instance, scores 97 on the same metric. The Meadows’s own score of 59 lands it in the bottom 50% nationally, though it’s worth noting the school’s reading average score of 105 is solid, and 69% of pupils hit the expected standard in both reading and writing individually. The school is clearly not an academic powerhouse, but it’s not far off the local norm either — and for families prioritising a supportive environment over league-table topping, that may be perfectly acceptable.
