If there is something you would like to see Friends of Meadow do, if you would like to help, or if you are just interested, all parents, carers and staff are welcome.
If you can't make it, you can still contribute your ideas in the Friends of Meadow group on classlist.com - sign up as a parent or carer on classlist.com, look for Meadow High School and there is a Friends of Meadow discussion group there.
We look forward to seeing as many parents, carers and staff as possible!

MHS ASD Support Group
Informal drop-in ‘Coffee and a chat’ sessions
We have a coffee morning in school for parents and carers of children and young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This year the group will be meeting once a month, during term time, on a Wednesday from 10.00 am until 11.00 am.
The aim of the coffee morning is to provide family members the opportunity to meet other families, share experiences, strategies and get support from others who understand, in a very supportive environment. I will also be available to provide information and guidance on different aspects of autism and offer advice on managing autism within the family. Please see below the dates of our planned meetings for this academic year:
|
We warmly welcome new parents/carers to join our group as existing members have greatly benefited by sharing their ideas and experiences with each other.
Please kindly note if you are unable to attend the coffee mornings but, would like more information about autism or support, please do not hesitate to contact me at school or by email twatson@meadowhighschool.org.
I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 19 September, or hearing from you in due course.
