Pond Meadow School is a small special school with academy status located in Guildford, Surrey, England for pupils aged 2 – 19.

History

The school was officially opened by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 2009. It replaced the Bishop Reindorp School, built in the 1960s.[2]

In 2015, a minibus used by the school caught fire with eight children onboard.[3] Three of the children were wheelchair users and were unable to leave the bus independently. They were rescued by the driver and some passers-by. Nobody was harmed in the incident.[4]
