Our mission

A nurturing community with communication at its heart

 

Meath School helps children aged 4 - 11 with complex speech, language and communication needs build the foundations they need to thrive. We have been rated Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ since 2007.

 

We are part of the children’s communication charity, I CAN, whose mission is to ensure that no child is left out or left behind due to a difficulty speaking or understanding.

 

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

 

 

 

I CAN’s mission is that no child is left out or left behind due to a difficulty speaking or understanding.

 

Meath School achieve this by supporting children with complex speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) to Talk, Learn & Grow:

• Enabling each child to talk, understand and connect with the world through a combination of communication methods
• Integrating specialist teaching, therapy and care to help children learn
• Creating a nurturing environment where children grow up safe and happy

 

 

“Meath School has been amazing – we’ve got our little boy back! He’s made lots of friends, and he’s understanding so much more. The school teaches life skills so they can be more independent. The strategies they’ve given him means he doesn’t need any additional support which is really empowering.”
