About

At Meadowcroft School we aim to enhance educational, physical, personal and spiritual development and well-being, by taking into account the individual needs of all pupils in the school environment. By working together with the therapeutic team, the school aims to provide a holistic approach to learning.

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.

Self-Belief: 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.

Trust: We want all students to achieve a full understanding of the knowledge specified in the curriculum for each year. We use rigorous examinations and assessments on demand and constant in-class assessment to judge the progress of our students.
