Welcome to Meadow View Farm School

At Meadow View Farm School, we provide a nurturing, highly specialised learning environment where children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs flourish. Nestled in the Leicestershire countryside, our unique provision combines high-quality education with expert therapeutic support, ensuring that every child feels safe, valued, and ready to learn.

Our broad, challenging, and enriching curriculum is tailored to meet each pupil’s needs, incorporating therapeutic farm sessions, outdoor learning, and hands-on experiences that build confidence and responsibility. As Ofsted 2023 recognised:

 “Pupils flourish at this exceptional school.”
 “Pupils speak passionately about how much they love coming to school.”
 “The school is amazing; it has transformed my child… and saved our family.” – Parent feedback in Ofsted 2023 report.

An Outstanding Education

With small class sizes, dedicated staff, and a curriculum built around individual strengths and needs, we prioritise academic progress, personal development, and emotional well-being. Our pupils benefit from:

• High-quality phonics and literacy teaching, with books carefully selected to match pupils’ learning needs.
• A rich and varied curriculum, ensuring that no child misses out on “typical primary school experiences” like swimming lessons, educational trips, and residential visits.
• Expertly planned outdoor and farm-based learning, where pupils connect classroom knowledge to real-life experiences.

"We were again very impressed by the quality of their provision and the progress students, who have often had very difficult experiences in their previous settings, make when they join MVFS.'' - LA Quality Assurance Visit May 2025

“Teachers carefully check pupils’ starting points and reduce anxiety by introducing new knowledge when pupils are ready. Pupils develop their knowledge well in many areas, including mathematics and English.” – Ofsted 2023

A Community Built on Care, Respect, and High Expectations

At Meadow View Farm School, every child is supported to reach their full potential. Our outstanding pastoral care and therapeutic interventions ensure that children develop the resilience and skills to thrive.

• Pupils’ behaviour is exceptional, showing care, respect, and thoughtfulness towards people, animals, staff, peers, and visitors.
• A strong sense of community, where pupils learn about teamwork, responsibility, and self-regulation through outdoor activities and enrichment clubs like ‘Soap Club’, ‘Space Club’, and 'Dodgeball Club'. A deep understanding of diversity and inclusion, with pupils celebrating differences, respecting all people, and engaging with their local community.

“Promoting pupils’ personal development is what leaders describe as the ‘bread and butter' of what we do.''– Ofsted 2023
