Meadow View Learning Centre is an inspiring school. It is a place where everyone is valued. Pupils thrive in the nurturing and positive atmosphere. They value the immensely caring and supportive relationships that they have with each other and with staff. Pupils at the school flourish socially and academically. Staff have exceptionally high expectations of, and are highly ambitious for, every pupil. Pupils, all of whom have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve extremely well. Some of the pupils at the school have struggled with their behaviour and attendance in previous settings. The school has high expectations in these areas and pupils rise to these expectations with pride. At this school, over time, pupils’ behaviour and attendance improve dramatically. This is shown in the exemplary behaviour and attitudes of pupils. The school provides pupils with access to a wealth of activities and wider development opportunities. Some of these, such as boxing and canoeing, help to promote social skills and team building. Other experiences are designed to prepare pupils well for independent adult life, for example, learning how to catch a bus or open a bank account.
