Philosophy
Meoncross School is committed to accepting children with a wide range of abilities, but does not cater for children needing an intensive level of support on a one-to-one basis. The school aims to find and build on the strengths of each child and to help each child to realise his or her full potential.

A pupil at Meoncross School is deemed to have need of learning support if he/she has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of his/her age.

Admission
Provided a pupil meets the criteria of the school’s admission policy, a pupil may be accepted if he/she already has an Educational Psychologist’s assessment or with the understanding that one is carried out. It is therefore quite possible that the school might accept a child whose literacy skills are behind those of his/her peers and who might benefit from small classes and individual attention.

It is very unlikely that the school would be able to admit a child with a Statement of Special Educational Needs or one with severe physical disabilities as the school is not equipped to offer specific resources and/or skills to meet the needs of such children.
