Admissions

Mutual suitability is not only assessed by looking at the individual child in the context of the classroom or school environment, but also by taking into account the ethos of the parents, their affinity with Meadowbrook’s values and approach and, where it is possible to predict, their future plans for education. Reasons for not offering a place may include highly disruptive behaviour or a significant learning difficulty that cannot be accommodated within the School.

It is important that we feel able to meet the needs of all children who attend and that we’re supported by the family. We also strive to maintain well-balanced classes of varying abilities and personalities. This may mean that from time to time, whilst a particular class may not be full, we would not be able to offer a child a place if we felt that this balance may be compromised. We have an obligation to our existing children to ensure high standards of personalised teaching, staff and pupil motivation, attitudes to work and positive behaviours are maintained. We also feel that it is important to place children in schools which can best cater for them and unfortunately we cannot cater for every need that comes our way.

• We welcome families who support Meadowbrook’s approach and will endeavour to promote it at home.
• We encourage child/ren to benefit from the whole Reception Class to Year 6 cycle at Meadowbrook.
• We are looking for children who will benefit and flourish in the sort of personalised environment that we offer.
• Meadowbrook reflects a range of abilities and aptitudes and supports varying levels of achievement, work ethic, and motivational factors, respecting the individual.
• Priority is given to siblings of children already at our School with consideration to the above sentiments.
• Admissions and exclusions at Meadowbrook are entirely a matter for the Headteacher.
• Parents are asked to refer to our Terms and Conditions and our Terms of Agreement for further information.
