At Meadow Park School we are committed to nurturing excellence, growing aspiration and thriving together. Meadow Park School strives to achieve excellent outcomes for young people, but also provides opportunities for them to be creative, innovative and to enjoy their learning.

Meadow Park was recently inspected by Ofsted and graded ‘Good’ for Attitude to Learning, Personal Development and Leadership (November 2023). The Lead Inspector noted in their report that:

“Pupils, parents and staff all describe the significant improvements that have taken place at the school since the arrival of the new headteacher”;

“There is now a clear and ambitious vision evident from all leaders to improve the quality of education for all pupils”;

“The school is welcoming to all pupils and frequently described as caring and compassionate”.

The successful candidate must be:

• Committed to making a positive difference to the lives of students and staff.
• Resilient with a strong personal drive.
• Passionate about securing the most productive learning opportunities for students in school.
• Values driven, dedicated to “Thrive Together”

We will offer you:

• A positive and innovative learning culture, where wellbeing and workload are effectively managed.
• A dedicated, highly skilled and committed staff, upholding high expectations and aspirations for all of our students.
• A strong sense of community and a warm, welcoming workplace.
• Frequent opportunities to collaborate with teachers and support staff from the other schools in the MAT to develop and share best practice.
• A vibrant, modern building and facilities (including the use of two minibuses for fixtures/tournaments) in a beautiful location within easy reach of the M40/M6 corridor.
