Dear Parents and Carers

This week we said goodbye to our Year 14 students in their Leavers' Assembly. Leaving school is a milestone in a young person's life as it marks the end of their formal education and empowers them to enter the adult world. We are hugely proud of all our students moving on to pastures new, and we are certain that they will leave us equipped with the skills, knowledge, character and qualifications needed to make a positive mark on the communities they will now be part of.  We wish them every success and I would remind them of our school motto ‘Learning for Life’ and would encourage them to never stop trying or discovering new things that challenge and develop them.

Away from Leavers' Day, we have been celebrating Pride month this week. All students have had a PSHCE lesson on this, and we have run lunchtime drop-ins to discuss many of the themes around equality, inclusion and diversity. We have non-uniform on 3rd July to promote the theme of this year’s pride month - solidarity.

I wish you all an enjoyable weekend.

Mr G Cunningham
Headteacher

The day will consist of a non-uniform day for all staff and students where we encourage everyone to wear bright colours and express themselves through their choice of clothing. Please adhere to the policy of no hoodies in school.

We will be hosting our Pride Parade on the main field where students will have the opportunity to wave the flags that they have been creating during their tutor time and PSHCE lessons.

We look forward to celebrating together. Please feel free to contact us if you have any queries.

Regards,

Mrs Newman – KS4 Team Leader

Re: Year 11 & 6th Form
Midsummer’s Night Dream PROM
Thursday 9th July 2026

To celebrate the achievements of our Year 11 and 6th Form students, we will be holding our school Prom on Thursday 9th July 2026 between 7:00pm and 10:00pm in the school hall.  Ticket price £12.

The theme this year is A Midsummer’s Night Dream, we meet by moonlight for a magical evening celebrating our love of music, dancing, good food and good company.  At Meadow High School we believe in celebrating our individuality -  wear what makes you feel amazing!   

Prom Shop: Stylist to the stars, Ms Hibbs will be happy to help anyone stuck for what to wear. Tick the slip below and she will then arrange a time for your child to come and have a look.

Dee’s Trims:  Ms. Lee and her talented team are on standby. If your child would like support with hair and/or nails to help them feel fabulous on the night please tick the slip below and we will contact you to arrange a suitable time – first come, first served.

 Prom tickets are on sale NOW until Thursday 2nd July

The ticket price includes a delicious three course meal (Head Chef - Mrs Fabisch), a visit to Ms Barratt’s famous mocktail bar and Mr. M. ‘spinning the discs’ with a special guest set from Luke.  The evening is a chance to hang out with friends and dance the night away.   This year you will have the chance to add a touch of glitter before striking a pose with friends in our photo booth.  To join in the fun, all you need to do is fill in the slip below, make your menu choice and hand both to Ms Nayar in the Faculty Leader’s Office - thank you Miss Nayar!

 Please note: There will be plenty of opportunities to capture memories by taking photos. If you do not want your child to be in any photographs with friends, or please contact your child’s Form Tutor. 

We hope very much that all students will come and celebrate. It’s a chance for our 6^th Form community to say hello to those joining in September and farewell to those ready for the next chapter of their lives.

Yours faithfully
Anne Sugden & Jennie Tudor
