Meath School (commonly referred to as Meath) is a specialist school run by the charity Speech and Language UK for children with complex speech and language challenges. It is located in Ottershaw, Surrey in the United Kingdom.
It is a mixed school for day and residential pupils aged 4–11 years old
History
[edit]Meath was originally an orphanage – the first of a series built by the Ministering Children’s League. The League was founded in 1885 by the Countess of Meath to encourage children to develop the habit of helping those in need.[1] It was taken over by the charity I CAN (now operating as Speech and Language UK) in the mid-20th century.
Specialisms
[edit]Children with developmental speech and/or language disorder as their main barrier to learning can apply. Pupils are referred when they have severe and complex needs, which cannot be met in local mainstream schools, units for pupils with language impairments or other special schools.
The school offers one-on-one speech and language therapy, as well as integrating speech and language learning into lessons. Augmentative and alternative communication is also used to support the pupils, as is occupational therapy.
School
[edit]As of September 2023, Dawn house has places for 68 boys and girls aged 4–11, including 21 residential students that board on a weekly basis. [2] The school has a range of on-site facilities including therapy rooms, a sports hall, heated swimming pool, wellbeing spaces, and extensive outdoor facilities including a woodland area. The school has maintained an 'Outstanding' Ofsted rating since 2007.
