The Pupil Experience
Before you start
We know it can be a bit scary when you change schools so we try and give you as much information as possible before you start. You will have visited the school already and maybe had some taster days so that you have some idea of what to expect.
On your first day you will have an 'Admission Meeting' which involves you, your parents/carers and staff who you will work with. This would usually include your Tutor and Link Worker. You will also be given a 'new student' booklet appropriate to the year group you will be joining.
You'll get to meet your new classmates and receive your new timetable.

Sy, Former student
The most impactful thing Meadows ever did was the support from all the staff. For me, the support meant you didn't have to just rely on yourself. That's what gave me a chance.
A leaving statement from a 6th form student
I feel that Meadows has been my second home for the last eleven years. I have felt safe, heard and understood. Meadows' staff have always guided me to take new opportunities to develop my skills and abilities, including helping me get into college. I have just achieved Level 3 Car Mechanics and I will always be grateful to Meadows.
Leaving statement from a 6th form student
I have enjoyed my time at Meadows School. The staff have been kind, helpful and persevered with me and provided a timetable to suit my learning needs and style in a safe environment. Thanks to the support, I have gained my GCSE's, and I am now a more confident person.
