Pupils at Meadow High School are well supported to develop as individuals and citizens who will make a positive contribution to society. They benefit from a wide variety of activities, events and opportunities that enhance their experience of school. For example, pupils recently visited Whipsnade Zoo; an outing planned by the older students. Educational visits make full use of public transport as part of equipping pupils with the life skills they need to live independently. Pupils feel happy and are kept safe at the school. They feel confident to raise any worries they have with staff and are confident staff will resolve these concerns swiftly. Pupils are proud to take on additional responsibilities, such as roles on the student council where they help to make decisions about school life. Similarly, pupils can become sports leaders and help to deliver physical education (PE) lessons. Pupils also contribute positively to the local community. For example, they have taken part in litter picking as part of their voluntary work for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and have helped to run a Scout group. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils, and these ambitions are often realised. Pupils learn a broad curriculum. However, in some subjects, including reading, there is insufficient clarity about what pupils need to learn and remember. This limits some pupils’ depth of knowledge and understanding.
