At the end of summer we were deeply saddened to learn of the death of our much-loved colleague and friend, Mrs Deborah Dixon, after a long illness. Mrs Dixon made a difference at Meadowhead for over 19 years.

She became a Pastoral Manager in the days when those roles were new to English schools and she set the standard for those that followed: combining kindness and warm generosity with a steely determination to help students be the best versions of themselves. Latterly, she served in the safeguarding team which benefited immensely from her wisdom and experience.

During form time on Tuesday 12^th September, all Meadowhead students heard a tribute to Mrs Dixon and stood for a minute’s silence to reflect on her two decades of service to our community.

A book of condolence has been opened to gather tributes from students, staff, parents, and alumni – if you would like to contribute please email your memories to enquiries@meadowhead.sheffield.sch.uk.

Many members of Meadowhead staff are participating in Weston Park Cancer Charity’s Walk as One in Mrs Dixon’s memory. More details about this can be found here: https://walk-as[1]one.raisely.com/kevin-elliott.

Further down the line, we will also look to find a permanent way to mark her contribution to Meadowhead, for now all our thoughts are with her family and friends. As a school and community, we know we will miss her dearly.
