Dear Families
Exciting news!
Work started on our café and kitchen this week. It is scheduled to be completed by September 16th, at which point pupils will start accessing this fantastic facility. Working in the kitchen and café (which will also include our charity shop) will develop a huge range of life and social skills as well as increase pupils' employability. We will be running events in the café next year and hope you will come along and join us as one.
Prom!
What a night! With our broadest ever theme 'Eras' allowing people to dress in whatever style and era of clothing they prefer, we had an amazing range of styles on display. From the 1920's to space age, from pyjamas to prom dresses, pupils dressed up and celebrated the end of another successful year. Pupils were treated to a welcome drink, a photo booth, a delicious buffet, dancing and entertainment from a magician.
Special thanks must go to Mrs Sugden and Mrs Tudor and the vast team of volunteers who organised and set up this amazing event. Please look out for the photos.
Mrs J Rigby
Headteacher

Class JR
Duke of Edinburgh Award
Bronze Expedition
On Thursday 4th July and Friday 5th July, Class JR undertook their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Expedition. The students (and some very brave members of staff) spent 2 days rowing various types of craft on the water at Rickmansworth Aquadrome under the guidance of some excellent instructors. They also spent a night camping in school, having a BBQ for dinner, enjoying burgers, sausages and pizza.
What the students had to say:
Hamdan “thank you to Miss Bonnar for the trip, it was cool!”
Daniel “I liked rowing the boat.”
Austin “I liked the KataKanu, I liked rowing with my friends.”
Bartosz “I liked the water, I liked splashing.”
Lilly “I liked standing on the paddle board.”
Zane “I liked paddling fast.”
Liam “I liked seeing the wildlife and holding a dragonfly!”

Sports Boomerang Meet 8/7/24
Twenty-two previous students returned to Meadow to take part in sports activities, to catch up and share how they are all doing.
We all thoroughly enjoyed the morning. Thank you to Mr Anstee for organising the events and to Mrs Porter for the lovely refreshments.
Some of our Boomerangers shared how they had been getting on. Some shared how they now have children, are working part-time in a gym, sports coaching, at Brunel University and at the Sheraton Hotel.
Some shared how they are enjoying Project Search, college courses and volunteering at local churches.
Two students also shared the great news that they have gained their drivers' licences! One previous student had gained his SIA licence too.
 We are super proud of all our previous students' achievements. Keep up the good work.
We look forward to our next Boomerang meet in October 24.
Thank you
Ms Carter
