SWV PO de Meierij

What SWV PO de Meierij does

SWV PO de Meierij (Samenwerkingsverband Primair Onderwijs De Meierij) is a Dutch non-profit educational consortium established to coordinate passend onderwijs (inclusive/special needs education support) for primary schools across 8 municipalities in the Meierij region of North Brabant, Netherlands: Zaltbommel, Maasdriel, 's-Hertogenbosch (including Nuland and Vinkel), Vught, Boxtel, Sint-Michielsgestel, Meierijstad (Schijndel), and selected schools in Oisterwijk (Haaren) and Tilburg (Biezenmortel). Founded in 2014 and headquartered at Hervensebaan 9, 's-Hertogenbosch, the consortium employs 57 staff and operates under a directeur-bestuurder leadership model with a Raad van Toezicht supervising governance. Its core service is ensuring every child receives education tailored to their needs, supported by the Handelingsgericht Werken (HGW) action-oriented methodology that cycles through assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation.

The consortium's service portfolio includes the Passend Onderwijs support coordination, a multidisciplinary Vliegende Brigade for children ages 2-6, a Dyslexieteam, an Oudersteunpunt parent information portal, an extensive workshop program for school staff, and the annual Samen Sterk magazine. Strategic planning is conducted through multi-year Ondersteuningsplan documents (currently 2022-2026, with a new 2026-2030 plan in development). The consortium was designated a national inspiration region (Landelijke inspiratieregio) for inclusive education by the Dutch government.

The business model is publicly funded through Dutch government educational allocations rather than commercial revenue. The consortium does not charge direct fees to schools or parents. It operates a partnership-based go-to-market via direct engagement with schools, structured OOGO cooperation with 8 municipalities, and integration with healthcare clusters (Koninklijke Visio Cluster 1, Kentalis Cluster 2) and mental health partners (OZAPP). The organization's distribution channels are its School Support Teams (direct field engagement) and municipal partnership (OOGO), making it structurally embedded in the regional education ecosystem.
