Making a difference for our future

School Performance

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, primary school data was not released to the public for the academic year 2021 – 2022. 

However, the end of key stage 2 headlines we received as a school show Meadowside in line with national data for attainment in reading, writing and maths. Progress in maths and reading was also in line with national data but writing progress was significantly below. You will be aware that writing is a subject that we have a strong focus on at our school going forward. 

The most recent published data headlines can be seen below (Summer 2019).

2018 – 19 Data Headlines

Below is a very brief overview of our two most recent Ofsted outcomes.

Next steps for the school:

Leaders have improved curriculum plans in foundation subjects, such as geography.
Subject plans outline the knowledge and skills pupils must learn and when. However,
teaching sequences are not yet fully embedded. Leaders must continue to improve and
embed an ambitious curriculum in all subjects, so that pupils are routinely challenged
to achieve well. 

Subject leaders and governors, some of whom are new to their roles, have not fully
developed their checks on the curriculum in foundation subjects. This means that they
have not yet developed the skills to assure themselves of the effectiveness of the
curriculum. Senior leaders must provide subject leaders and governors with time and
training, so that they can fully evaluate the impact of the curriculum.
