At Angel Meadow School, we are dedicated to providing an inclusive and nurturing environment that supports the unique needs of our students with complex challenges. Our primary objective is to empower every pupil to achieve their fullest potential by fostering high aspirations and promoting personal growth in a safe and therapeutic setting.

We strive to engage our learners actively, inspiring them to take ownership of their educational journey while addressing the specific requirements outlined in their Education, Health, and Care Plans.

Guided by our core values of inclusivity, engagement, and understanding, we aim to create a community where every individual feels valued and heard. Our commitment to high standards ensures that we offer tailored opportunities that facilitate academic progress and holistic development. We embrace the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our students, celebrating their achievements and fostering an atmosphere of compassion.

At Angel Meadow School, we are committed to providing an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all our students, including those for whom English is an additional language. We recognise the rich diversity and cultural contributions that EAL learners bring to our school community and are dedicated to ensuring they have equal access to the full curriculum.

Through tailored support, differentiated teaching, and targeted interventions, we aim to develop both the language skills and academic confidence of EAL students. We work in partnership with families and the wider community to promote strong communication, celebrate multilingualism, and foster a sense of belonging.

Our goal is for every EAL learner to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, while developing the English language skills necessary for lifelong learning and future success.

As we look towards the future, our mission reflects our aspiration to be an educational beacon for students facing social, emotional, and mental health difficulties.

Through a collaborative emphasis on curiosity and creativity, we endeavour to enhance the life chances of our pupils, preparing them to contribute positively to society and thrive in an ever-changing world.

Anti-bullying Strategy

At Angel Meadow School, we believe that every child has the right to feel safe, valued, and respected. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our school community. We are committed to creating a positive and inclusive environment where kindness, respect, and understanding are at the heart of everything we do.

Our strategy focuses on:

Prevention – teaching pupils about respect, empathy, and celebrating differences through our curriculum and daily school life.

Support – ensuring that children feel confident to speak up and know they will be listened to and supported.

Action – responding quickly and effectively to any concerns, working with pupils, families, and staff to resolve issues and prevent them from happening again.

By working together with parents and carers, we aim to make Angel Meadow School a safe and happy place where all children can flourish, free from fear of bullying.
