On Monday we held the annual Meadow’s Got Talent event.  After a series of auditions the 10 finalists performed in the Main Hall to a live audience whilst all classes watched via a live stream.  The final saw dancing, acting, storytelling and the standard was incredibly high.  Congratulations to all the finalists and an extra well done to the overall winner.

This term, class HA, have been working on their hospitality skills.

They have looked at skills needed front of house and back of house and really worked hard on their customer service skills.

On Wednesday 10^th December, they all worked together as an amazing team to run the Holly, Jolly café. They invited some staff and students and served them a variety of festive drinks and snacks.

A big thank-you to all our customers and well done to class HA who did a fantastic job!

Pupils, their families, Governors and staff attended our Annual Celebration of Achievement Evening last Thursday, 20 November 2025.

Pupils received their exam awards and certificates, which were presented by
Past Mayor, Councillor Shehryar Ahmad-Wallana.   It was a lovely evening and great to see past pupils returning as well as current pupils, to receive their awards.   

Head Pupils Vinaay, Amiya, Sam and Diego made a speech and a Vote of Thanks.  They thanked everyone for coming to the evening.

The Headteacher, Mr Cunningham, and Chair of Governors, Mr Burton, also spoke during the evening.  You can hear Mr Cunningham's speech in the video link later in this post.

During the evening, we also held a charity raffle.   Thank you for all the donations of prizes.   We also auctioned off some of the flowers, which had kindly been donated by Simply Flowers and Funky Flowers.   We raised over £220.00, which will be split between MNDA (Motor Neurone Disability Association) and Friends of Meadow.    Thank you everyone for your generous support.

Thank you to all the staff, governors, parents and families, and the pupils for making this a special evening.

Mr Cunningham, Headteacher said:

It was an honour to attend my first Meadow High School Awards Evening last week.  It was great to see the former students returning to Meadow High School to receive their certificates and other accreditations and to see how they are getting on now they have left us.  It was also a pleasure to see current students receiving their certificates they achieved last academic year.  This will surely give them a boost as they move through their current studies.  I spoke to the students about the ‘positive power of failure’ and you can see my talk on the website by following the link below.

A Big Thank You !

We would like to say a huge thank you to the staff at Simply Flowers (South Ruislip) and Funky Flowers (West Drayton) for the donations of four beautiful floral arrangements which helped to make the evening really special.

The Scholastic Book Fair pop-up book shop event is nearly here with the most recent book releases for children and young people.  The fabulous thing about this book fair is that when you buy books, our school receives free rewards that we use to buy more new resources for our students. These rewards are vital for our school because it allows us to continue developing our wonderful Library. Our Library is the heart of our school and supports all of our students to develop an understanding of themselves and a curiosity for the world around them.

We will be hosting two parent coffee afternoons on:

One session on Tuesday 25th November: 

• 1.45pm till 2.45pm

One session on Thursday 27th November:

• 1.45pm till 2.45pm

These will give you the opportunity to visit the Fair with your child and choose some of the fantastic books that will be on offer. You can pay at our parent coffee afternoons via card, Google Pay or Apple Pay using a QR code we will provide at the fair that you can access on your mobile phone. Please ensure you bring a mobile device with a camera so you can access the payment portal on the day.

If you would like to collect your child and take them home when you finish, please remember to complete the slip on the letter we sent out so we can ensure they will be ready. Please note that there is no on-site parking - if there is a particular need, please contact your child’s form tutor. 

If you are unable to attend but would like to support our school by purchasing books, please visit https://clubs.scholastic.co.uk/C-67234RGY to order online. For every £1 you spend, our school will earn 20p in Scholastic Rewards. Please place your order online by December 13th, 2025.

See you there!
