Extra-curricular Opportunities
At Meadowhead, we want students to experience life beyond the classroom by celebrating and encouraging students’ talents and interests. We want them to be able to relate to others and the world around them. As well as offering experiences linked to their academic subjects like trips, we also offer a wide and diverse extra-curricular programme. The offer provides experiences for those looking to develop a specific talent or interest, experience something new, build their self-esteem or take part in a team experience.
Our after school clubs and teams cover all areas of interest including diverse sports, music, drama, health, art, cooking, board games, homework and many more.
Within school, we offer leadership opportunities for students such as Mentors, Reading Partner, Sports Leader or member of school parliament.
Extra-curricular clubs and after-school sessions – Spring 2020 - on hold due to January 2021 lockdown
Y7-Y10 PE Sessions - on hold due to the January 2021 lockdown.
Each year group has a dedicated afternoon:
Y7 – Monday, Y8 – Tuesday, Y9 – Thursday, Y10 – Friday
For many students, this is the day they already have PE. For students not already in PE kit, they will be able to get changed at the start of the hour. Everyone will need to go home in their kit at the end.
Y7/Y8/Y9 will have a choice of football, dance and badminton. Y10 will be able to use the fitness suite.
At the end of the normal school day, Y7, Y9 and Y10 students should head to the Sports Hall using the directions provided in form time (see map on the right here). On Tuesdays, Y8 students should wait in L05 and L06 for PE teachers to arrive and collect. The teacher will take a register each session which will be sent to reception.
Y7 – Y10 Enrichment Sessions on hold due to the January 2021 lockdown
We are delighted to be able to offer the following clubs and subject support activities for the first time this academic year. Students should head to these classrooms at the end of the school day and wait for a teacher to arrive at around 2:55pm. These activities are based on the year group corridor to maintain social bubbles. Students should commit to staying until at least 3:30pm and will need to leave the site via main reception in the Rosling.
