Gothic Mede Lower School
Gothic Mede Lower School provides its pupils with a good education. Children settle quickly and make satisfactory progress in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
By the end of Year 4, pupils' attainment in reading, writing and mathematics is above expectations for their age. Pupils' progress accelerates because teaching is good and the curriculum is well matched to their needs. Strengths in teaching include positive relationships with pupils and well-planned lessons that are executed at a quick pace.
Among other awards, the school holds National Healthy School Status and the Arts Mark.
