    • Pathway 1 - KS4 and KS5 Activities

      Published 17/05/24

      Last week, our on-site KS4 and KS5 students enjoyed a fruitful culinary experience, preparing wholesome meals with fresh ingredients, and avoiding processed foods.

      With summer approaching, they eagerly seized the opportunity to learn the art of crafting their own barbecues. Additionally, they demonstrated a commendable commitment to environmental sustainability by reducing landfill waste through the use of reusable bags during shopping for ingredients, as well as opting for reusable cutlery, plates, and cups. However, they encountered a challenge with excessive packaging from stores, limiting their options for ingredient selection. Despite their best efforts, they could only find onions with packaging. We encourage stores like Tesco to offer more package-free options for ingredients, thereby supporting our students’ commitment to reducing waste and promoting sustainability. 

      Throughout the week, we thoroughly enjoyed observing our students to develop their social, community, and life skills in preparation for their life after Meadow.

      Wednesday: Girls Open Age Football Tournament - Middlesex FA

      Our female students enjoyed a sunny day, competing in the last tournament of this academic year. All participants showed fantastic maturity and represented Meadow to a high standard. Their team work and passion was clear throughout. All participants were lucky enough to also receive a medal for their efforts throughout this academic year - well done to all!

      Thursday:Bloomsbury Football Inclusive Festival at QPR

      Thanks to Bloomsbury Football, we were able to take 38 year 8-10 students to participate in a football festival on the official pitch of Queen's Park Rangers. Students were able to play mini matches between other SEN schools and take part in various activities. The event was well organised and run by some excellent coaches. Students all received a medal (providing a chance for QPR to see silverware being won since the 1966-67 season), book and a gift bag at the end of the session. Students behaviour was excellent and they participated brilliantly. A big thank you to the staff at Meadow who supported the trip, all at Bloomsbury’s football and QPR for hosting the event.

      Thursday:  Seated Volleyball at Meadow High School

      The focus of this tournament was to show key sporting skills; determination, team work, self belief and honesty. All participants showed a range of these skills on numerous occasions.

      Well done to all students AND staff who participated. And a big thank you to the year 10 and 11 sports leaders who organised the whole event.

    • Harry Potter Day - 2 May 2024

      Published 10/05/24

      Promoting Literacy:   

      Harry Potter Day – on the 2nd May

      Celebrating our love of Fantasy-Fiction  

      Harry Potter Day is celebrated around the world. We were delighted that it was on a ‘school day’ so that we could join in, making sure we included all of our fantasy-fiction favourites of course!  Why the 2nd May? Other than it makes a very cool rhyme, it is because this is the day Harry Potter finally defeats Lord Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts. 

      Our library was a hub for fun all week. Students gathered to watch a film, play games and explore our huge selection of books in this genre including researching fun facts linked to the theme.

      On Thursday, the school was transformed by the arrival of witches, wizards and even a dark Lord! Spells zinged along corridors – we were so impressed with how many our students knew and also their wand-making skills!

      A huge ‘thank you’ to students, parents and staff who helped cast a magical spell over the school.  We had a great time. So, until next time, ‘mischief managed’.

    • Year 7 Trip to Windsor Castle

      Published 03/05/24

      Year 7 Went On A Trip To Windsor Castle Yesterday

      On Thursday this week, Year 7 visited Windsor Castle as part of their 'Castles' study in history. The staff at the castle treated us to a learning workshop entitled 'All About Castles' where we were reminded about our learning of The Battle of Hastings and were taught some new information about castles and battlements. 

      We visited the State Apartments, the Dolls' House and the Chapel and were lucky enough to see the resting place of our late queen, Queen Elizabeth II.  The weather held out for us and we came back extremely tired after a busy day of walking and learning.
