“Reach for the top of the tree and you may get to the first branch, but reach for the stars and you’ll get to the top of the tree.”
Outcomes at Meadlands are excellent. Pupils achieve significantly above national averages at the end of all Key Stages across all subjects. Meadlands' pupils have been commended for academic excellence as in the past 4 years we have been in the top 10% of schools nationally for attainment in phonics, reading and mathematics.
Meadlands' results have continued to be on an upward trajectory year on year, we are true to our school vision as we never sit on our laurels but strive to learn more and be better!
Back in 2019, which was the last time official (SATs) school data was collected and compared to national outcomes, the school achieved its highest ever attainment and progress scores in many areas of the curriculum. Indeed, we keep on dreaming big. Please do read on...
Attainment:
Due to school closure, no Statutory assessments took place in 2019-2020 and 2020-21. However, we continued to complete teacher assessments for all year groups and share these outcomes with you below. We always moderate our teacher assessments in school and with our local schools, however please note that for these past 2 academic years we have not had any local authority moderation or a national result to compare our data too.

Progress:
Progress means knowing more and remembering more. And at Meadlands we measure this by setting personalised targets for every pupil and tracking their progress towards these targets throughout the year. At the end of the summer term teachers and senior leaders are able to measure the percentage of good progress in each class by assessing the number of pupils who have achieved their targets.
Teachers work with senior leaders every half term to monitor the progress all pupils are making, anyone who is falling behind is quickly identified and support is put in place. This support might be extra help in class, an intervention targeting specific learning or a meeting with the child's parents to discuss strategies that can be supported at home as well as in school.
At the end of Key Stage 2, the government measures the progress the children have made during their time at school by comparing the pupils' end of Key Stage 1 SATs scores to their end of Key Stage 2.
At Meadlands we have high expectations and we are proud that our pupils' progress outcomes exceed national. The national measure for progress is '0'. Anything below this is below national standards and above is above! Scores 4 or more points above are often deemed very high performing schools.
