Pens Meadow School provides quality education for 110 pupils aged 4 to 19 with complex learning needs including medical conditions and autism. We are entering an exciting phase of development. We currently operate over two sites, a little over two miles apart. By Autumn 2025 a fantastic new school build will relocate the younger pupils to the Post 16 site. This will provide amazing opportunities for our pupils, including rebound and hydrotherapy. It will also bring increased capacity of an additional 40 pupils.
