Each academic year, hundreds of Meadowhead students step up to represent, lead or support their peers and this year’s Make a Difference Awards recognised some of the many outstanding leaders at our school.

• Marissa T (Y9) won Representative of the Year for her highly effective contributions on a range of policy areas, to Cultures Day, as a student journalist and in representing the school in the media – especially for the royal visit.  Highly commended in Representative of the Year were Mani P (head student in Y11) for his work on both academic and social matters and Jimi L (Sixth Form President in Y13) for his work on Sixth Form outdoor social space.

The new award for mentor of the year,  kindly sponsored by Jules Williamson, was shared by three students in Y12 who have provided sustained and excellent support for younger students: Asha C, Erin P and Izzy H.  

In sports leadership, special recognition was given to the service and leadership of Alice B (sports leadership in athletics), Maisie E (captaincy of U16 girls football), Will M (for sports leadership – especially in football) and Erin Poleykett and Beth Shaw (for sports leadership especially in netball).

In music, dance and drama, recognition was given for the outstanding leadership and contributions of  Betty C and Maya D (Y8 for leadership and choreography of the dance club), Billy D Y13 (for service to performing arts at Meadowhead, school productions), Katie H Y10 (service to music, drama, and her advocacy for arts within the curriculum) and Isaac C, Asha C, Cally G, Maisie J, Henry P, Marissa T and Zach W  (for contributions to Performing Arts extra-curricular clubs and events). This award was kindly sponsored by Razzamataz Sheffield who use the school’s building for their classes.

Well done to every Meadowhead student who stepped up to a leadership role this year: whether student representative, house captain, reading partner, mentor or sports leader, we thank each of you for "making a difference" to your peers and the Meadowhead community as a whole.
