On Monday 15th December, the Virtual School came to visit Meadow to accredit us with our Bronze Hillingdon Empathy Attachment, Relationships and Trauma Responsiveness (HEART) Award.
They were impressed with our warm and nurturing learning environment, especially our sensory spaces, our library and all the interventions offered to our young people.
In addition, a special mention to Jo, Josh and Sam, who represented the school amazingly and spoke so eloquently about their experiences at Meadow.
I am very proud to say we are the only school in the borough with this award and it really is a testament to how our staff work with and support our young people to help them regulate their behaviour and emotions, build key adult relationships and feel safe and secure at school.
Have a wonderful Christmas break and New Year.

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.
Class 9AA delivered an outstanding group performance of their reimagined The Snowman through contemporary narrative dance. The students collaborated effectively to incorporate specific dance movements, with a strong focus on varied spinal positions. They performed confidently for a selected group of staff, demonstrating excellent teamwork and performance skills.
Brilliant work, well done!

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 10th 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!
The Vocational Pathways Enterprise team students demonstrated outstanding effort in preparing for the Christmas Sale. They planned the products they wished to sell, created marketing materials and displayed posters around the school, and successfully sold their items last Thursday.
A big thank you to Mrs Pledge who supported the student throughout the project.

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.

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.
