Welcome to Meoncross School
A child's educational journey should be as unique as they are. We pride ourselves on our holistic approach whereby every child has the individual attention they need to thrive and succeed both in and out of the classroom. At Meoncross, every child is safe to say ‘I can be the best possible ME’.
We are very proud to be a through school for children aged 2.5 - 16 years, meaning we can welcome children into our school at any point in their educational journey. This could be at a natural key stage transition point such as starting 'big school' in Reception, Juniors in Year 3, or Upper School in Year 7, or anything in between.
Academic achievement is high, but so is our focus on wellbeing, as we know that happy children are high achieving children. We nurture our pupils and develop the characteristics and qualities we know they will need to build bright futures.
Excellent Academics
We were ranked 21st nationally in Times Parent Power Guide in 2025, and we have a proven track record of achieving excellence when it comes to academic results. Our pupils routinely achieve results well above the national average, from our Early Years to key Primary stages and GCSE results.
Holistic Approach
Emotional intelligence is just as important as academic achievement and we want our pupils to be confident, compassionate and capable young people. We believe it’s crucial to develop a child’s character through teaching transferable skills that will help them to thrive in the future.
We Are Meoncross
We have a strong family ethos, and instil a sense of great pride in our school community. We look after, support and encourage each other to always be our best.
At Meoncross, we often talk about the right school being “a feeling”, and in our school film we wanted to convey what a special and unique feeling there is at our school.
We hope you enjoy watching our film, and we look forward to welcoming you to experience Meoncross in person if you would like to find out more.
“Family is our central value and that means we are accepting, that we are kind to each other, we seek to understand and appreciate each other.”

New Library Opening with Special Author! 📚🏫
During the World Book Day celebrations, we had the official opening of our new library area! We were thrilled to welcome Mrs. St James, a talented author and parent of Archer in Year 6, to help us mark the occasion. ✍
The children loved hearing Mrs. St James share the inspiration behind her books and were excited to receive ‘idea’ notebooks and pencils to create their own stories. She also awarded prizes for a colouring competition based on characters from her books. 🏆📖
The new library space also offers pupils access to Bookshelf Scanner, an app enabling them to independently navigate the library. By scanning a book`s barcode, the app automatically assigns the book to them, helping to develop their IT skills and fostering a sense of responsibility and independence. 💭💻
A huge thank you to Mrs. St James for opening our library and inspiring our students! We look forward to welcoming you back soon. 👋
We also want to thank Mrs. Wimble, Mrs. Shinton, POM, and other staff for their dedication in making our library a truly magical space. Your hard work is greatly appreciated! ♥

We are thrilled to congratulate Guy, a former Meoncross student, on his offer to study Mathematics and Philosophy at the University of Oxford! 📚🎓
From his time at Meoncross, to Barton Peveril, and now Oxford, Guy acknowledges the significant role Meoncross played in his academic journey. 🙌
💬 `The immensely supportive teachers are who first suggested I apply for Oxford in the first place, so even beyond helping me get top notch GCSEs, Meoncross staff played a part in my getting my offer`
It`s always a privilege to hear about the successes of our former pupils. We are incredibly proud of Guy`s achievements and eagerly anticipate where this next chapter will take him!

This week, Meoncross had the incredible opportunity to host the TECH:TRUCK! 👨💻👩💻
Year 10 and 11 pupils embarked on a journey, discovering how technology could shape their future careers in fields like maritime, engineering, and health and social care.
They dove into a world of cutting-edge innovations, engaging with 3D printers, robotics, and VR headsets. 🤖🖥
There were truly memorable moments as the pupils interacted with these groundbreaking technologies for the first time, contemplating their future impact on society. 🚀💭
The TECH:TRUCK is a fantastic collaboration between the South Hampshire College Group, HSDC, City of Portsmouth College, IOW College, Brockenhurst College, HTP Apprenticeship College, Solent Partners, and The South Coast Institute of Technology.
A massive thank you to TECH:TRUCK and their amazing team! 🤩

An exciting week in the Lower School saw the recruitment of this term`s @myhappymind Happiness Heroes! 💚🧠
These passionate students have been entrusted with a special responsibility to support the wellbeing of their peers, including assisting teachers with preparing myHappyMind sessions. 🤗
Their first mission is a meaningful one: organizing invitations for guests to join us for a Mother’s Day Breakfast and Happy Breathing session – an opportunity for everyone to relax and recharge. 🥰
A few of our Happiness Heroes even paid a visit to Mrs. Ebery, eager to share their new roles and demonstrate calming breathing techniques. 🧘♂️
The myHappyMind curriculum is rooted in scientific research and empowers children to: feel happier, manage worries and stress, improve focus, build stronger relationships with friends and family, and build positive self-esteem.
It’s such an important role, and we know they will all do amazing things. ⭐

A Delicious Week in Food Tech! 🤩
Last week, Year 10 students mastered the art of making choux buns from scratch! They carefully made the pastry, piped a cream filling, and topped it all off with a glossy chocolate icing. 🍫
Meanwhile, Year 9 students had a blast preparing their very own chicken goujons, showcasing an impressive range of culinary skills. Absolutely delicious! 🍽

Meet our Head
I hope it will be clear to you how important our values are to us as a community; we genuinely strive to live by them seeing ourselves as a family where optimism and kindness stand shoulder to shoulder with adventurous opportunities and high academic achievement.
Just like any family, we know that every child has their strengths and their struggles, and we encourage and support them all, whilst genuinely appreciating and understanding the individuals they are.
Only by getting this mix right, can we hope to ensure that all our pupils leave Meoncross ready to flourish in this constantly evolving world of ours.
