Welcome to Meadowcroft School
At Meadowcroft School, we are committed to creating a safe, nurturing and ambitious environment where every child and young person is known, valued and supported to thrive.
Across our four sites – The Lodge, The Gallery, The Hub and The Works – we provide specialist education and therapeutic support for pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs, alongside a range of additional learning and communication differences. We understand that many of our pupils may have experienced challenges within education previously, and we believe that positive relationships, trust and a genuine sense of belonging are the foundations from which successful learning grows.
Our staff team works hard to understand every child as an individual. We celebrate progress in all its forms and maintain high aspirations for every pupil, both academically and personally. Through carefully planned support, therapeutic approaches and meaningful opportunities, we help young people to develop confidence, resilience, independence and hope for the future.
At Meadowcroft, success is not measured by one single pathway. We want our pupils to leave us with the skills, qualifications, self-belief and emotional understanding needed to lead healthy, happy and fulfilling adult lives.
“At Meadowcroft, we believe that strong relationships, high expectations and a culture of belonging can transform lives and create futures filled with hope.”
Gavin Hosford, Executive Headteacher
Our Vision
At the Meadowcroft School we believe that every child and young person has the potential to be a ‘STAR’. We provide a bespoke system that underpins and runs throughout our core values for staff, pupils and all stakeholders.
Our Values
We believe all students have the right to learn what is in our full curriculum offer; we have a duty to ensure all students are not provided with a narrowed or marginalised version and to develop their self-belief to comprehend and complete tasks to a good standard..
Our Aims
We will aim for stability for all our young people. This will allow teachers to develop expertise and teaching materials to support the curriculum. This in turn will support our students to have the ambition to achieve their learning goals.
