Who we are

A nurturing community with communication at its heart!

Who we are

Meath is a school that helps children aged four to eleven with complex speech and language challenges to build the foundations they need to thrive. We have been rated Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ since 2007.

We work hard to prepare children for the next stage of their education and give them the tools they need to independently access the learning and education that will allow them greater life choices and experiences.

Our collaborative and immersive environment encourages children to be effective communicators and to learn various ways to have their voice heard. To do this, we work as a multi-disciplinary team to ensure the very best expertise is shared and taught, through evidence-based approaches. We also offer home from home tailored residential support which provides a safe and nurturing environment for pupils to develop independence, social and self-care skills.

Meath is part of Speech and Language UK, a children’s charity that wants every child to face the future with confidence.

Our mission

Through a combination of specialised education, therapy and care, we aim to create a community of happy, independent, and confident communicators.

Meath achieves this by supporting children with complex speech and language challenges to talk, learn and grow:

• Enabling each child to talk, understand and connect with the world through a combination of methods.
• Integrating specialist teaching, therapy and care to help children learn.
• Creating a nurturing environment where children can develop social skills, friendships and learning approaches – and grow up safe and happy.
