Summer Term 2024
Sixth Form Entry Criteria
6th Form Entry Criteria
Meadow High School
Meadow High School is a specialist setting in Hillingdon for students with Moderate Learning Disabilities and associated complexities. All students must have an EHCP. Our positive learning community incorporates students, families, professionals and our dedicated team of experienced staff, who are committed to, and passionate about, the learning and progress of our pupils.
Many students transfer from year 11 to 6th Form and we have students joining us every year from external provisions as well. For students who are already taught at Meadow, there is no need for an application, however, Meadow High School maintains high attendance standards, aiming for full-time, punctual attendance at a minimum of 95%. If you have required attendance intervention previously and this support from the team hasn't enhanced your attendance, it could impact your progression to 6th Form at Meadow High School. This is determined on a case by case basis.
The majority of students typically complete years 12 and 13 before progressing further externally, with only a minority opting to continue into year 14. Those who do stay on for year 14 typically fall into the following categories (see chart overleaf).
Nb: Staff will be advising families from year 11 whether their child is expected to be moving on after year 13 or whether they would be staying on for year 14.

Letter to Year 11 (and new starters in the Sixth Form)
June 2024
Dear Parent/Carer(s),
re: Transition to 6th Form Coffee Morning
We would like to invite parents and carers to a transition coffee morning on Thursday 4th July from 9.30am-10.30am. This will be hosted in the main hall.
The focus of the morning will be talking about provision in 6th Form, including entry criteria and attendance expectations, as well as a general overview of what happens day to day and how this differs from KS3 and KS4. Teachers will not be available on this occasion but you will be able to speak with the Assistant Head Teacher(s) for 6th Form as well as Ms Carter, our Team Leader.
Please see the handbook and entry criteria attached to this letter for more information, which we will be discussing.
Our independent transitions and careers advisor Sue Stock will also be in attendance. Sue works with each student at Meadow to plan future steps and will be able to support families with applications when leaving Meadow.
Please note that car parking is extremely limited due to our new build so we would advise using public transportation where possible.
Yours sincerely,
Michelle Taylor Aggie Fabisch

Letter to Year 10 - Phased Transfer (from London Borough of Hillingdon)
Parents/Carers/Young People
June 2024
Dear Parent/Carer/Young Person
PHASE TRANSFER 2024-2025
Our records indicate that you/your young person has an Education, Health and Care Plan who may be looking to start a new setting in September 2025. I am writing to inform you that the Special Educational Needs and Disability Team have already started carrying out the phase transfer process for your young person.
The Local Authority is required to name a placement for you/your young person by 31 March 2025. This process would have been explained to you at the most recent Annual Review that would have taken place or is taking place in the very near future.
We are writing to you now to gather young person/parental preferences for September 2025. We will also receive a low number of preferences via the annual review process.
Please find enclosed a preference form for you to complete and send back to us.
We need to know from you
- Do you want to go to college in September 2025?
- Do you want to join a training provider in September 2025?
- Or do you want to leave school and try to get a job?
- Or do you want to stay at your current school?
If you are planning to go to college or into training in September 2025, which one would you like to go to?
If you are not sure which one just yet, you can let me know that.
The Local Authority will be consulting with the nearest appropriate setting for all students, even if this school/College is not listed. In addition, where independent settings are requested as a preference, the Local Authority has a right to consult with appropriate maintained settings to establish whether a placement is an efficient use of resource.
If you do not have a preference or your young person wishes to remain at their current setting, please still return the form and let us know this.
If you would like support with this process, you can contact SEND Information, Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS) on 01895 277001 or sendiass@hillingdon.gov.uk.
Please be aware that pupils with EHC Plans are not automatically entitled to transport to an Education setting. Some pupils will be eligible for home to school transport and more information about this policy can be found at http://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/article/20108/Home-to-school-transport
If you have any queries, please contact me on the details below. Otherwise, we look forward to receiving the completed preference form, on the below email address, by Friday 5 July 2024.
Yours sincerely,

The Local Authority will consider your preference for an independent or non-maintained setting, but will also consider maintained settings. In line with the SEND Code of Practice, any decision about whether to place a young person at an independent or non-maintained setting will be made with consideration of the Local Authority’s efficient use of resources.
If none of the preferences you submit are for your/your young person’s nearest appropriate setting, then the Local Authority will also approach the nearest appropriate setting asking for a view on whether they can meet your/your young person’s needs. This will be used for the purposes of deciding whether your/your young person is eligible for travel assistance and to determine whether placing you/your young person at your preference setting reflects efficient use of resources for the Local Authority.

Letter to Class MP - Trip to Pizza Hut
26 June 2024
Dear Parents/Carers,
As part of our learning Personal development, we are taking part in an eating out experience at Pizza Hut on Thursday 18th July 2024. This experience is to build upon the skills they have learnt in Out in the Community lessons and Themed Learning.
This will also support our work within PSHE looking at developing our social skills.
We will be leaving school at 11:30am and will return to school at 2:30pm in time for normal transport home. We will be travelling by school minibus and first aiders will accompany us.
Your child will not require a packed lunch on this day.
If you have any enquiries, please feel free to contact me mparker@meadowhighschool.org.
Yours sincerely,
Mr M Parker
Form Tutor
Letter to Year 11 - Trip to Thorpe Park
12th June 2024
Dear Parents/Carers,
Year 11 Trip to Thorpe Park
As a year group, we are going to visit Thorpe Park on Wednesday, 3rd July 2024. As we approach the end of Year 11, this trip is to recognise the hard work Year 11 has done throughout the year. We also hope it will make some happy memories before they prepare to move on to their next chapter.
As a reward trip, we will not be taking any pupil whose behaviour is likely to put others at risk. Everyone in Year 11 currently has a place, but pupils know their behaviour needs to be appropriate. If we do not feel confident that a pupil will follow instructions and keep themselves (and others safe) whilst off-site, they will not be allowed to go on the trip.
Students will be responsible for handling their own money and will be able to practice their social interaction skills with staff at Thorpe Park and each other.
We will be leaving school at 9.15am by minibus and we will arrive back at school before the end of the school day. There will be no cost to attend this trip.
If your child would like to buy lunch or snacks while we are out, please send a small amount of money in with them. Students are welcome to bring a packed lunch instead, if they prefer. If they are entitled to a free school lunch, please indicate below and we will make sure they have a packed lunch provided.
Many thanks,
Maxine Newman

Dear Parents/Guardians,
19th June 2024
Re: Year 11 & 6th Form ERAS PROM – Thursday 11th July 2024
To celebrate the achievements of our Year 11 and 6th Form students, we will be holding our school Prom on Thursday 11th July 2024 between 7:30pm and 10:00pm in the school hall. Ticket price £10.
The theme this year is Eras, a retro-chic celebration of fashion through time. This reflects the work we have been doing with our students on sustainable fashion and finding your own style – at Meadow High School we believe that celebrating our individuality and expressing who we are is what it’s all about! Wear what makes you feel amazing!
Prom Shop: Our Prom Shop will be open from Mon. 24th June. Students can bring in an item to swap for something else; if they don’t have anything to swap, come along anyway, we will be happy to help!
Dee’s Salon: Thanks to the kindness of Ms. Lee and her team, we will be open for appointments. 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 slip below and we will contact you to arrange a suitable time – first come, first served.
Prom tickets are on sale NOW until Monday 1st July ’24. The ticket price includes a visit to Miss Barratt’s famous mocktail bar, Mr. M. ‘spinning the discs’ as well as a special buffet of Asian-style food, and entertainment from the incredible magician Angus Baskerville, a rising star heading to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer. Angus will be amazing us with his close up magic skills – I can’t wait!
There will be plenty of opportunities to take photos on the night. 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 students will attend as the evening is a celebration of their shared experiences at Meadow High School and the journey they have all been on together.
Yours faithfully,
Anne Sugden & Jennie Tudor
On behalf of the Prom Committee

Letter to Whole School - Coffee Morning With Annual Review Lead
21st May 2024
Dear Parents/Carers,
My name is Pam Sandhu and I am thrilled to be the Annual Review Lead for your child this year! We have something so special in common, your child.
Whilst my role is not a day-to-day pupil contact, I would like to get to know the pupils, and any aspirations for their future. My job is to make sure both the school and your Local Authority know their special talents and anything they need to grow their other skills or abilities they might be hiding from us!
You know your child better than anyone else in the world. What I will be involved in will be a little glimpse of who your child really is and what makes them so amazing.
EHCPs are about your child's barriers to progress and how we all have to work together to overcome this. We will work with you to sensitively identify your child's challenges and barriers so that we can work together to overcome them.
It will take me a bit of time to get to know all the pupils and yourselves. I am planning to hold a coffee morning on Tuesday 11th June at 9.30am to introduce myself and put names to faces.
Thank you so much for trusting me with your child's Annual Reviews. I am looking forward to helping your child to reach for the stars.
Yours sincerely,
Pam Sandhu
Annual Review Lead

Letter to Whole School - Anti Racism Workshop
Tuesday 16th April 2024
Dear Parents/Carers
Last term, we ran a parent workshop with Audrey Pantelis from Elevation Coaching and Consulting Ltd. She is a former Head of a SEND school and has specific insights into how we can successfully become an anti-racist school, from the SEND perspective.
The focus of the last workshop was to discuss the school's work on becoming an anti-racist school. It gave the parents a chance to share their ideas about what positive changes they would like to see within the school and some of the challenges they feel they face within school and within their wider community.
The workshop was a real success and we had some great feedback from the parents who attended.
This term Audrey is coming in again to run a follow up session for parents. All parents are welcome to attend, even if you attended the last session.
The workshop will run on Friday 17th May at 9:30am – 10:30am in our school library. She would love you to come along and have a chat with her!
If you would like to attend, please complete the below reply slip and hand it into reception.
