Governing Body

As Governors of Meadows School, we work in partnership with Barnardo’s and the school’s leadership team to provide strong strategic leadership and support.

Our role is to ensure that Meadows continues to meet the changing needs of pupils, parents and carers, local authorities and legislation. In doing so, we focus on three core aims: ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction; holding executive leaders to account for educational and pastoral performance; and monitoring financial performance.

As Ofsted noted in 2024, ‘those involved in governance have supported and challenged the school to improve.’

We look forward to the continuing success of Meadows School. For governance enquiries, or if you are interested in becoming a Governor, please contact us at enquiries@meadowsschool.org.uk.
