Issue 36 - Friday 27 June 2025

Dear Families, 

With the warmer weather, we are seeing more pupils becoming dysregulated which in some instances, is leading to conflict with other pupils.  We are also aware that many pupils have families in worn-torn parts of the world and this can be a point of high anxiety.  As part of our work to teach and support pupils how to manage their feelings and emotions, we looked at resolving conflict in this week's assembly.

Two of our Year 7 pupils volunteered to act out the story of 'The Two Mules'. Huge thanks to Basith and Ethan for being brave and acting out with enthusiasm.

The key message from the assembly was 'others don't have to lose so you can win'. We talked about lose-lose situations, win-win situations and how to compromise. 

We look forward to seeing many of you next week during our Sports Week. Don't forget your purse as there will be refreshing drinks on sale (card reader also available!).

Best wishes for the weekend.

Mrs J Rigby
Headteacher

  • Date/Time: Thursday 10 th July 2024 from 7.00pm – 10.00pm
  • Theme: Masked Ball, an evening celebrating our love of music and dancing, good food and good company – and just a bit of mystery... will you recognise yourfriends?!  At Meadow High School we believe in celebrating our individuality - wear what makes you feel amazing!
  • Cost: £12.00 – to be paid for via ParentPay
  • Food: Three Course Meal – remember to send in your child’s choices asap [Head Chef Mrs Fabisch].   Drinks: Soft drinks will be available all night + Ms Barratt’s famous mocktail bar

  • Prom Shop: Ms Hibbs has kindly become the new manager. She will be happy to help anyone stuck for what to wear. Tick the box on the reply slip, she will then arrange a time for your child to come and have a look.
  • Dee’s Trims: Open for appointments again this year thanks to the kindness of Ms. Lee and her team. If your child would like support with hair and/or nails to help them feel fabulous on the night please tick the box on the reply slip and Ms Lee will contact you to arrange a suitable time – first come, first served.

Please note:

  • Deadline for buying tickets Mon. 1 st July 2025 and menu choices
  • The ‘masked’ bit: We will have some masks on tables for students to use for photos, however, recommend buying a mask to go with your look for the night.
  • Please note: There will be plenty of opportunities to take photos. If you do not want your child to be in any photographs with friends, please contact your child’s Form Tutor.

We hope very much that all Year 11 – 14 students 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.

  • help with develop understanding of how to read, modelling pacing, proper intonation (using voice for expression) and correct pronunciation whilst immersing children in stories.
  • help develop comprehension skills – a crucial part of reading

If you enjoy gently rhyming books with a positive message, this might be the one for you.

Little Mouseling lives with her family in Wintermouse Wood. She loves having a big family, but she's so small that she often gets left out when her older brothers and
