Why choose

Moorcroft School

Moorcroft School pupils attend school at one of two specialist locations. Our main school site in Hillingdon or at the Eden Pinkwell Satellite based at Pinkwell School in Hayes.

At Moorcroft we aim to provide the best possible education outcomes for our students. All our students have a personalised learning programme to help them achieve their best. We use this to adapt our curriculum to meet their individual needs.

A significant amount of time is spent on Home and Community Skills whilst continuing to ensure students reach their personal potential in the core areas of Communication, Literacy and Language. Teaching takes place in modules – some of which will be compulsory – but pupils are also be able to make choices about what they study.

Each student has personalised targets for each unit, set for them by one of the teachers in the Upper School. Students spend a significant amount of time with a key worker, moving between units. This ensures staff become aware of the specific needs of individual students. Students will, however, not spend all week with their key worker as they all need to be able to work with a variety of adults. In order to facilitate this, all of our students are also part of a pastoral group, each of which will be led by a teacher. When joining the sixth form our young people discuss what destination they are aiming at in their future.

Testimonials

“We were very impressed by your school. When you initially met us, you greeted us signing and then talked to my daughter, which was lovely.”
Prospective Parent
“I would definitely say that my confidence grew whilst I was at Meadow. I used to be nervous talking to and meeting new people but I really enjoy it now and it’s a big part of my job.”
