Meadow Park School is a Pupil Referral Unit, serving children, families and schools across Knowsley and the wider Merseyside borough. The school offers provision for both Primary and Secondary age pupils across all Key Stages.

Meadow Park provides the local authority first line provision for permanently excluded pupils and additionally operates as a Key Stage 2, 3 and 4 alternative provider, offering on-roll places for pupils who would benefit from education outside of their main school context.

Our provision is either reactive as a result of permanent exclusion or preventative, through short-term, full-time placements at our school site in the heart of Knowsley.
