The Meadows is a small school where our family ethos creates a sense of belonging, pride in our community and a compassion for everyone in our school family. In October 2017, we converted to an academy within The Shaw Education Trust.
There are 3 mixed age classes and a small Reception class of 14 pupils. Our small size enables all our children to know each other and all our staff to know each and every child. Our motto is “Learning by Caring and Sharing”. Our children care for one another, their school environment, their community and the world which we all share.
Our aim is for all of our children to be successful learners, so they are able to grow, develop and mature into successful adults. Whilst we strive for high academic achievement, success at The Meadows is about happiness, making good choices and feeling proud of yourself. To be successful all children and adults have to overcome setbacks and show resilience. We believe that a successful lifelong learner is one who cares for others around them and is able to share resources, ideas and their knowledge with enthusiasm. At The Meadows Primary School, we aim to prepare our pupils to become good citizens of the future. Through our curriculum we teach pupils British values and how to celebrate diversity.
At The Meadows we have a community of which we can be proud. Our dedicated, highly motivated and friendly team of staff, governors and supportive parents care passionately about our school and the children who attend it.
