🐝 Welcome to Meadow Green Primary School 🐝
Children of all ages from 3–11 years are welcome at Meadow Green!
We understand what a big decision it is when choosing a school for your child, and we are grateful that you are taking the time to find out more about our community. One of the best ways to experience Meadow Green is to visit us and see our school in action.
🐝 As Ofsted noted in our most recent inspection report:
“Pupils are happy to be a part of this welcoming and inclusive school. Pupils enjoy learning and playing together.”
and “Children get off to a flying start in the Early Years.”
At Meadow Green, our Year 6 pupils are fantastic ambassadors for our values and the strong community ethos we are proud of. If you join us for one of our Open Days, they are often your guides—sharing their experiences and helping you see what life at Meadow Green is really like. Many of them began their journey with us in Nursery or Reception, so they are perfectly placed to talk about the journey your child could take with us. 🐝
We warmly welcome prospective families to visit the school throughout the year. Please contact the school office to arrange a tour on 01564 823495.
Meadow Green admits children aged 3–11 years. The number of pupils that may be admitted to each year group is known as the Published Admission Number (PAN). Since September 2024, our PAN is 30 pupils per year group.
🐝 Nursery and Reception Admissions
Children may join our Early Years at the beginning of the academic year in September:
We also offer additional intake points in January and April for Nursery children, where spaces are available within our Nursery provision.
Reception admissions are coordinated by Worcestershire Local Authority. This means that applications and offers of places are managed centrally and not directly by the school.
Families living outside Worcestershire must apply through their own Local Authority (the authority to which council tax is paid).
Please note:
🐝 We encourage all families to ensure they complete the correct application process at the appropriate time to secure a school place.
If you would like any further guidance, please contact the school office—we are happy to help 🐝
Parents may apply for admission from the start of the term following their child’s third birthday.
🐝 If you are requesting a start date outside the usual September intake, please make sure this is clearly indicated on your application form.
We look forward to receiving your application and welcoming you to our school community 🐝
Since September 2017, eligible working families have been able to access up to 30 hours of funded childcare.
Eligibility for the additional free hours is determined by HMRC via the Government’s online childcare application system. Parents must reconfirm eligibility every three months. 🐝

Applications for admission to Meadow Green Primary School, outside of the normal Reception intake or transferring from another school, should be made at the earliest opportunity.
Parents are advised to:
🐝 Where places are not currently available, a waiting list is maintained by the Worcestershire School Admissions Team.
Please note that a school waiting list is an active document. As new applications are added, the position of children already on the list may change. A waiting list does not prioritise children based solely on the date they were added.
Children who live in Worcestershire can apply online.
To apply online you will need:
Once your application has been submitted, you will receive an email confirming receipt.
🐝 If you do not have internet access, you can use a computer at any Worcestershire library.
If you would like any further support with in-year admissions, please contact the school office or the Local Authority Admissions Team 🐝
For children who are not resident in Worcestershire, applications for school places should be made through your home Local Authority:
🐝 Please ensure you apply through the correct Local Authority for your home address, as they manage admissions for children living outside Worcestershire.
Nursery admissions are managed directly by Meadow Green Primary School.
🐝 Please note:
An offer and acceptance of a place in our Nursery does not guarantee a place in Reception for the following academic year.
All families must still apply separately for Reception places through their Local Authority admissions process when the time comes.
We are always happy to help guide families through the admissions process—please contact the school office if you need support 🐝
