Belong

When learners walk through our doors, they matter. Successes are celebrated, difficult days are understood and relationships are built over time – we are the MMC family.

Grow

We keep high expectations for learning, while recognising that the route to achieving them will not look the same for every learner.

Thrive

High-quality teaching combined with SEND-aware and trauma-informed practice, without placing labels or limits on what learners can achieve.

It started with Miss Honey

As a little girl, Rachel Mellor’s role model was Miss Honey from Matilda – the teacher who saw the child first. Rachel went on to become a qualified teacher (QTS), with many years’ experience across teaching, moderation, educational consultancy, assessment and supporting children with a wide range of learning and additional needs.

“Children learn best when they feel understood.”
