Meadowhead School and Sixth Form

Eid al-Adha Mubarak, from everyone at Meadowhead School and Sixth Form.

As part of the Journalistic Challenge, we attended a Sheffield Eagles match alongside three enthusiastic and highly engaged Year 7 students. The group had the opportunity to sit in the press box and gain valuable insight into the process of live match reporting and sports journalism.

Following a successful victory for the Eagles, the students were given the exciting opportunity to interview both the Player of the Match and the Head Coach. They conducted themselves with great professionalism throughout and represented the school exceptionally well

To celebrate David Attenborough centenary alongside recent Earth day, the Meadowhead Geography department invited each form and student to decorate a leaf for our environmental tree. Each leaf contains students pledges on the small actions they could take to protect the environment. Encouraging every student to make a difference to the world in which we live in.

Y12 student Layla Darby completed an 80km road march in 2 days at RAF Cosford as part of the RAF Cadet Progressive Training Programme. RAF elites from the UK, Germany, and Belgium joined the march. Layla’s next part of the training is to complete the first UK Gold programme which includes a 120km road march over 4 days. Congratulations Layla on your fantastic achievement! Meadowhead are proud of you!

We love to recognise and celebrate the amazing achievements of our students. Just complete the form on our website here - https://mhsch.short.gy/achievements

Our Sixth Form Fundraising Committee held a Chess Tournament earlier this half term, raising money for the sixth form leavers dinner. After a tense few rounds, a stalemate was reached resulting in a tie! Thank you to all involved. ♟️

Our Year 10 Health & Social Care students have been taking part in the Flour Baby Project!

After weeks of preparation, they stepped into the role of parent—caring for their “babies” around school while exploring the realities of pregnancy, labour, and early routines.
From planning feeding and care schedules, they have gained a real insight into the responsibilities of parenthood, while deepening their understanding of infant development.
