As part of this, students have said a special thank you to long-serving staff members who are leaving the school this summer:

Chris Ridley who has spent 23 years at Meadowhead as a science teacher as well as playing his part in so much of school life: as mentor of teachers, as a senior leader, as the public face of the science faculty leading incredible experiments at Open Evenings, as quiz master, and even as a royal body double in rehearsals for the recent visit.

Carol James who, after over 40 years as a careers adviser and 20 years working with Sheffield schools, completed her final advice meeting at Meadowhead this week before retirement – thank you from every student you have helped in your long career.

Sue Beres who has been a kind, supportive and vital part of the school’s reception team for the last twelve years – colleagues, students and their families will miss your reassuring presence deeply.

Lee Williamson who has been a design and technology technician for over 11 years and has provided invaluable expertise to countless student projects and courseworks in that time.

We wish these staff all the very best in their new roles or in their well-deserved retirements! If parents and families would like to send a thank you to these staff or any others, please email enquiries@meadowhead.sheffield.sch.uk and we will pass the message on.
