I feel very privileged as Headteacher to introduce you to our school and website where we hope you will begin to see some of the exciting activities and learning experiences that happen here at Meadows First School.

Our aim is to ensure all children who attend Meadows First School are happy and provided with all the necessary opportunities to be the best they can be, both socially and academically.  The school’s motto of Caring, Sharing, Preparing for Life fits entirely with my own views on education and I work hard to ensure these values are lived every day at Meadows First School. 

Meadows First School is proud to be a UNICEF Gold Rights Respecting School. Our curriculum and ethos are firmly rooted in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). As duty bearers, our staff uphold these rights every day, creating a safe, inclusive environment where pupils thrive as global citizens and learn to respect their own rights and the rights of others.

Our website should give a flavour of the many things that happen here, so please enjoy browsing the pages and I hope you take away a sense of the school’s ethos and what is available for your child. Meadows is a vibrant and successful school, but most importantly, a happy place. We have fantastic children, dedicated hard-working staff and very supportive parents, carers and governors who come together to form our special community.

We are a school family that nurtures excellence and supports children in learning for life. All staff are fully committed to providing high quality teaching and learning, backed by first-class care and support for all.

I hope that you find all the information you require about the school here on the website, but please feel free to contact us, should you need more. I would be delighted to meet you and to give you the opportunity to see our very special school in action first hand.
