Meadow High School: “Achieving together”

We invite applications from both experienced special education teachers, mainstream teachers and Early Career Teachers who are interested and we will provide a full programme of training and mentor support as part of ECT induction.

Meadow High is a special school for students aged 11-19 with Moderate Learning Difficulties and additional Complexities. One of the UK’s largest secondary special schools, we have been consistently rated as a Good school. The school holds a number of national awards including the SEN Specialist Schools Award, the Inclusion Quality Mark Award and the International School Award.

To support the Local Authority we are expanding further with two new development projects. The first is a replacement block where our remaining temporary classrooms are situated. Once this is opened in September 2024, we will gradually expand to have around 300 pupils on the 'Royal Lane' site. The next project is a Satellite Unit based in Harefield village, called 'Northwood Road'. This will house up to 90 Pathway 1 pupils and should be ready for us to occupy in Autumn 2025.

Please note: This role will initially be based at our Royal Lane site and relocated to Northwood Road, Harefield.

We can offer you:

• A range of wonderful young people with a range of SEN needs, all with a love for learning.
• A warm, friendly and approachable team.
• Brand new, bespoke built facilities.
• Opportunities for CPD and progression.
