School Description

Pupils, and students in the sixth form, enjoy their time at Meadowside. They feel safe and happy. Pupils described the school as ‘a happy place with nice staff’. Parents and carers appreciate the care and support that staff provide. Pupils and students behave well. They move between activities in a calm and orderly way. They work hard in lessons. They also socialise appropriately with their friends and staff at breaktimes. Pupils and students are confident that staff would deal with any bullying quickly and effectively. Pupils and students do not achieve as well as they should. This is because the early reading curriculum is in the early stages of development. At times, in other subjects, teachers do not provide pupils with the most suitable activities to help them to remember the curriculum. Pupils enjoy many opportunities to learn about the wider world. They proudly report these opportunities in the ‘Meadowside Magazine’. A wide range of visits enhance the curriculum. These include trips to places of worship and to listen to orchestras. Pupils told inspectors that they value the many activities available to them. They appreciate the popular parkour club, swimming in the on-site pool and learning about first aid.
