About this day nursery

Meadowbank Primary and Nursery School, located in Atherton, Manchester, welcomes families into its community with an emphasis on creating confident, responsible, and competent individuals by the time they complete Year 6. The school prides itself on a calm and happy environment where all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), feel safe and achieve well, a reflection of the school's high expectations.

The Headteacher's vision focuses on meeting the needs of every child across all aspects of school life, providing a rich array of experiences and opportunities. This approach ensures children are well-prepared for their secondary school journey.

The school encourages visitors to explore its offerings and learn more about its commitment to nurturing young minds.

Our ethos

My vision for the school is to ensure that the needs of your child are met in all areas of school life and that each child is given a wealth of experience and opportunities. This in turn, will guarantee that they leave Meadowbank at the end of Year 6, feeling extremely confident, responsible and competent members of society, ready for their Secondary School journey.
