D-Day Celebrations - 6th June
Wed 17 Apr 2024June 6th 2024 marks a very important date in history, the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. The 80 Beacons celebrations will be one of the largest events in the UK this summer. You can visit www.d-day80beacons.co.uk for more information.
We know pupils benefit from a hot meal at lunchtime and, as an industry, we know they impact so positively on so many lives – this is something to be celebrated. So, we have added this into our promotional calendar for 2024. There will be events being held all over the country: The lighting of beacons/Town Crier Proclamations/Parades/Fish and Chip days in restaurants and much more.
To support this event, we will simply swap the menu on Friday 7th with Thursday 6th so that we can also have Fish and Chip Day but with the additional children’s favourite: Chocolate Brownie.

Sports Hall Athletics Finals
Tue 12 Dec 2023On Thursday the 23rd of November our school represented in the finals along with St Peters, Harlands, Windmills and Holy trinity. Year 5/6 participated in the competition and did super well as a team and everyone was super supportive.
There were separate races for the girls and boys. There were also track events which were separate as well. Starting with the obstacle race we came 5th, for the 1+1 relay we came 1st, for the 2+2 relay we came 5th. Also, with the 6 lap we came 3rd, the over and under relay we were 4th and last but not least with the 4x4 relay we came 5th. However the girls still did amazing as well as the boys and their scores looked like this: First the starting race (obstacle relay) we came 4th, for the 1+1 relay we came 2nd, next we had 2+2 relay and we came 1st! Again on the 6 laps we came 1st! With the over and under relay we came 5th and for the last one 4x4 relay we came 1st. There were also field events which we did really well in but we don't know how we did. Overall everyone did amazing and anyone who participated should be really proud of themselves. It is an amazing achievement just to do it! There were other schools competing on different days as well and overall out of all the mid sussex schools we came 7th!!!! If your child would like to take part next year in the Sports Hall Athletics and will be in year 5/6 next year then they are more then welcome to try out!
This is an amazing achievement which (I should think you are very proud of) and of course what matters the most was great fun! Everyone was amazing and tried their best!

Thu 16 Nov 2023On Tuesday 14th November The Meads took part in the East Grinstead Sports hall Athletics Competition at Sackville school
We had 12 races and won 7, we didn’t come last in anything!
Everyone was super supportive, even when we didn’t win and overall it was super fun.
The schools we competed against were Estcots, Felbridge, Ashurst Wood and Blackwell. The first event was an obstacle relay, which started at 4pm and the last, was a relay race which finished at 6pm.
Everyone was super hyped up to find out who had won …….. and we won ! That means there is a possibility that we will represent East Grinstead in the finals against Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath schools on 24th November.The field events were super fun to do with your friends, from javelin throwing to speed bounce, there were plenty of activities for everyone. Next year you could try out if you are in year 5 or 6.
