Summer Term 2024
Letter to Year 7 re Trip to Windsor Castle
Monday 22nd April 2024
Dear Parent/Carer,
To support your child with their learning of ‘Castles’ in History we have arranged a trip to Windsor Castle on Thursday 2nd May.
We will be leaving school after registration at 9:15am and returning to school in time for transport at 3pm. Therefore, you will need to provide your child with a packed lunch and plenty of water. If your child is entitled to a free school meal, one can be provided for them. Please indicate below if you would like a lunch provided, along with sandwich choice. We will travel on a coach and will be accompanied by First-Aid members of staff.
The cost of the trip will be covered by the school. We will not be visiting the very expensive gift shop, so your child will require no money on the day.
Please complete the attached slip and return it as soon as possible. If you have any queries, please feel free to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Musk
Letter to Year 13 and 14 - Transition Coffee Morning
15th April 2024
Dear Parent/Carer
Students Transition Coffee Morning
We hope this letter finds you well. As your child prepares for the significant transition from Meadow School to college, we understand that this period can bring many questions and perhaps a few concerns about the next steps in their educational journey.
To support you and your child during this time, we are pleased to invite you to a special Coffee Morning hosted by our Therapy and Interventions Teams at Meadow School. This event is designed to provide you with valuable insights into the transition support available, and to offer a platform for discussing any specific needs your child might have.
Details of the Coffee Morning: Tuesday 21st May 2024, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Meadow High School
The morning will include a presentation from our dedicated team members across the therapy and interventions departments, including Physiotherapy, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and our Inclusion Team staff. Our careers advisor Sue Stock will also be joining us to add her wealth of knowledge around the transition process and provide support. Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity for you to engage in individual discussions with the therapists, Sue and the inclusion team. This will be a great chance to ask questions, express any concerns, and discuss specific support measures for your child.
Refreshments will be provided, and we hope to create a relaxed and informative atmosphere for all attendees.
Your involvement and input are incredibly important to us, and we believe that together, we can ensure a smooth and successful transition for your child. If you would like to attend, please fill out the expression of interest form attached to this letter and return to school as soon as possible, but at the latest by Friday 10th May 2024, as this will help us in our planning and preparation.
Thank you for your continued support and collaboration. We look forward to welcoming you to the Coffee Morning and to discussing how we can best support your child's next steps in their educational journey.
Yours Sincerely,
Gillian Sapiano
Interim Clinical Lead, Highly Specialist Consultant Speech and Language Therapist

Dear Parent/Carer,
Shining Stars Club Wednesday’s 3.15- 4.15
The music and dance department in Meadow High School are excited to introduce an inclusive choir for the Summer term. This fun new choir/dance group has been set up to encourage pupils to develop their singing skills, movement, confidence, teamwork and it gives pupils the opportunities to lead in our school’s annual Performing Arts concerts.
If your child has an interest in either or both activities. The first class will begin Wednesday 8th May.
If you would like your child to take part, please fill in the permission slip below return to Mr Ellis ASAP as spaces are very limited, so it will be a first come first serve basis. Please tick which role(s) your child would prefer; singing or dancing or both. Pupils will get the opportunity to select songs they wish to perform, and will even learn to compose and rearrange music!
If your child has handed the slip in on time and got a place, you will receive a second confirmation letter with dates attached.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Kalia & Mr Ellis

Letter to Pathway 1 - Henna or Mendhi Permission - For Eid Party
16th April 2024
Dear Parent/Carer,
As part of our school’s celebration of Eid, we are organising a special Eid party for our students on Friday, 19th April 2024.
One of the activities planned for the event is the application of Mehndi on the children’s hands.
Mehndi application is a traditional and culturally significant practice during Eid festivities. It’s an opportunity for our students to engage with and celebrate cultural diversity within our school community.
We assure you that the Mehndi paste we will be using is safe and made from natural ingredients. However, we understand that some parents may have concerns about their child participating in this activity, particularly if their child has allergies.
If your child has any known allergies or sensitivities, please indicate so on the slip below. Additionally, if you would like to give permission for your child to have henna applied on their hand during the Eid party, please fill out the slip and return it to the school by Thursday 18th April 2024
Yours faithfully,
Mrs Majidi
Pathway 1 Teacher
