About Us
The Mead School is a co-ed independent school for 3 - 11 year olds, conveniently situated 300m from the historic Pantiles, The Mead School is a place which ‘encourages all its pupils to feel success’. Children who are happy and secure in school thrive and become lifelong learners. To this end, the school, founded on Christian principles and impressively housed in a Victorian villa including well-equipped playgrounds and a well used playing field, within easy walking distance of The Pantiles, is run as a large family providing a happy, secure, lively and stimulating environment in which children can develop and thrive.
Academic standards and expectations are high, enabling each child to realise their potential within small, personal teaching groups, discover their strengths and interests and move to secondary school as independent learners who have established excellent work patterns and strong values which will remain with them for life. Children are prepared for entry to a wide range of secondary schools in both the independent and maintained sectors including over 55% transferring to the six local grammar schools.
We are a community based school. We want our pupils to be outward looking for the world is their classroom and life their education. Within our campus children enjoy high quality teaching and resources and their learning is greatly enhanced by a broad range of educational trips and visitors.
School life must be fun and full. A huge programme of sport, music, drama, languages, French and Mandarin, and extra-curricular activities is offered and our pupils embrace it all with enthusiasm and confidence. Academic, sport, music and drama scholarships are regularly won.
