Meadow High School: “Achieving together”

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

We are seeking a highly skilled, friendly and fun professional who will help develop our Vocational provision at Northwood Road. As a new provision there will be lots to develop and personalise including space for a horticulture garden, a cafe, a life skills 'house' and lots of keen, kind and hard working pupils who all strive to achieve their best. 

To support the recruitment of an experienced candidate we are pleased to be able to offer a recruitment and retention payment award of 10% of the post holder's annual salary. This will be paid as 50% of the award amount in month 12 of employment and a further 50% of the award amount at month 24, subject to the post holder remaining in employment beyond these dates.

In addition, as part of the shortlisting process, we will carry out an online search as part of our due diligence on the shortlisted candidates to help identify any incidents or issues that may have happened, and are publicly available online, and which we may want to explore with candidates at interview.
