This year we were able to partner with the PE Faculty to think about the positive benefits of finding ways to stay fit for life in terms of physical and emotional well-being.  

The students had a really interesting week, taking part in a range of workshops linked to life beyond Meadow, including visits from BUILD, The Clancy Group and HS2. In addition, our Year 11s and 6th Form attended a fantastic new job fair that was held at Brentford Football Club.   

Other events in the week included reading sessions in the library every day from staff and our wonderful WEX Librarians.

We also ran a lunchtime film club to share our favourite sports themed stories.

On World Book Day, students came to school dressed to fit the theme and we held a special assembly where we started our whole school team challenge – How far could we row? Students also took part in a quiz to find out about the hidden sporting talents of school staff and were given the World Book Day book they had ordered.  

 

To end the week, on Friday we all got outside into the fresh Spring air for a fun fitness challenge on six giant inflatables. 

The My Sporting Heroes competition closing date is Monday 24th March 2025, so there is still time!  Winners will be able to visit our library, talk to Miss Gaafar and order a new book of their choice to take home with them.

We hope that the students all had a great time, and we can’t wait to start planning for next year!
