Welcome from the Headteacher

My name is Marie Hunter, and I am proud to be Headteacher of Pens Meadow School.

I have taught in Special Schools for over thirty years and been Headteacher here since 2008. We are a community at Pens Meadow School; every child and adult is a part of that community; once you join we ask that you commit to our values and enjoy being here; learning and developing together. I lead by example, we are innovative, have a ‘can do’ approach, and enjoy the responsibility of achieving the best we can for all our pupils.

Living, Growing, Learning

At Pens Meadow School, our motto, "Living, Growing, Learning" is the foundation of everything we do. We understand that for our pupils, progress is measured in many ways. It might be the first time a child uses a symbol to make a choice, the moment a student gains the confidence to explore a sensory garden, or the achievement of an award in our Post-16 department.

A Partnership Built on Trust

We don't just teach your child; we work alongside you. Our doors are always open, and our dedicated family outreach and safeguarding teams are here to support you through every stage of your child’s journey. We believe that by working together, we can ensure that your child feels safe, happy, and empowered to reach their full potential.
