Information about the School

Meadgate Primary School is situated in Great Baddow, south of Chelmsford City Centre.

The classes are divided into seven individual year groups.

Meadgate Primary School entered into an exciting partnership with The Eveleigh LINK Academy Trust in 2014 and as a result, has grown into the strong school that it is today. Today the school is part of the newly formed Quantum Multi-Academy Trust (QMAT). All schools within the trust work closely together to secure a bright future for each other. The children are receiving a strong education and the school has access to far greater resources than previously. In recent years our pupils attained and achieved over the national averages across the school.

At Meadgate Primary School we believe that together we are stronger.

Our school is culturally and economically diverse; something which we are proud of and know helps our children to gain a rounded and tolerant view of the world. We believe a polite, respectful environment, where every individual's talents are recognised and valued, is essential to developing healthy self-esteem and a positive learning environment.

At Meadgate Primary School we encourage pupils to be adventurous in their learning through our school-wide learning behaviours.

These challenge children to be active, ambitious, brave, confident and curious learners supporting their development in school, whilst also being essential skills for the future.

QMAT is a dynamic and forward-thinking trust, comprising of one large secondary school and seven thriving primary schools, all rated Good or better by Ofsted. Our schools are united by a shared culture of excellence, where relationships, opportunity, care, and kindness are at the heart of everything we do.

We set high standards and expectations, nurturing the potential in every child and empowering them to forge successful pathways for the future. Our ethos is not just about what we achieve, but how we achieve it—with integrity, compassion, and a relentless commitment to improvement.
