About this school — Meadow Hall
Meadow Hall is a respected day school in Lekki known for combining British and Nigerian curricula. Founded in 2003, it emphasizes creativity alongside academics. Fees of ₦2.8M–₦3.2M position it as an accessible mid-range option in the Lekki corridor.
Meadow Hall was founded 2002 by educators who had taught in UK British-curriculum schools and wanted to build a small, focused primary/secondary in Lekki Phase 1. Twenty-plus years on, the school has become one of the Lekki mid-market British-curriculum options with a specific niche: British curriculum + WAEC parallel + small class sizes + solar-powered campus. The solar+inverter power infrastructure — no on-site generator since 2023 — is unusual in Lagos and is central to the school's environmental brand. What Meadow Hall does not offer is A-Level Sixth Form; approximately 30% of Year 11 leavers transfer to Bridge House Sixth Form, 25% to LBS Sixth Form, 15% to BIS Sixth Form, and 20% to UK Sixth Form colleges. The remaining 10% pursue various pathways.
