“Staff all enjoy working here and agree that leaders are considerate of staff’s well-being”– Ofsted
Meon Way Federation is a proud member of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust. This enables us to create a unique offer for children: an “all-through” educational journey in which they remain with the same family of schools throughout their education.
