Governing Body

The role of the governing body is to provide strong strategic leadership and support to Meadows School in partnership with Barnardo's and the school's leaders. We ensure that Meadows School meets the changing needs of students, parents and carers, local authorities and legislation. Within this, our specific aims are to:

  • Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
  • Hold executive leaders to account for educational and pastoral performance;
  • Monitor financial performance.

"Those involved in governance have supported and challenged the school to improve" (Ofsted 2024)

We look forward to the continuing success of Meadows School.

Communication for the Governors in the first instance should go to:  enquiries@meadowsschool.org.uk.
