My name is Marie Hunter and I am proud to be Headteacher of Pens Meadow School. I have taught in Special Schools for over thirty years and been Headteacher here since 2008. We are a community at Pens Meadow; every child and adult is a part of that community; once you join we ask that you commit to our values and enjoy being here; learning and developing together.
I lead by example, we are innovative, have a 'can do' approach, and enjoy the responsibility of achieving the best we can for all our pupils. If you are interested in joining us, as a family, child, volunteer or supporter, we would love to hear from you.
