What is it like to attend this school?
The Meadows Primary Academy is ‘sowing the seeds of success’. This motto is the golden thread throughout all the school’s work. The school has high ambitions for all pupils, whatever their background. It strives to ensure that pupils learn well and are prepared for later life. Pupils rise to these high expectations. They enjoy learning and succeed.
Around the school, pupils conduct themselves well. From Nursery, children understand the school’s expectations and routines. Pupils understand that they should ‘be ready, be respectful, be safe’. They love to celebrate the school’s values through characters, such as ‘‘Aspirational Amar’, ‘Kind Kim' and ‘Resilient Rehana’. Pupils say these values ‘set us up for life’.
Pupils say that teachers keep them safe. They know they can approach a trusted adult or report using an online system if they have any concerns. Pupils who need extra help to keep themselves and others safe receive specific support to enable them to behave well.
The school wants all pupils to have high aspirations. It provides many opportunities for pupils to learn about and discuss the different careers available to them in the future. As a result, pupils develop ambitions to be astrophysicists, paramedics, authors and gas engineers.
