Meadows School
Rochdale, Rochdale, North West · OL12 9EN
With just 19 pupils on its roll, Meadows School is a very small independent school in Rochdale, led by Head Mrs Paula Forth. Mixed and non-denominational, it takes pupils from age 11 and operates an 11+ entry point, though its intimate scale means it functions very differently from a large mainstream secondary. The school is inspected by the ISI and offers GCSE qualifications. Its size will appeal to families seeking a closely supervised, small-group environment rather than the breadth of a bigger institution.

Teaching & academics
Meadows School prepares pupils for GCSE examinations. Its published results sit well below national benchmarks, with an Attainment 8 score of 2.2 against a national average of 46.9, and no pupils recorded as achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths in the reported year, compared with a national average of 47%. Such figures should be read in the context of a tiny cohort, where a handful of pupils can heavily skew the headline numbers, and parents are encouraged to discuss individual provision directly with the school.
