  • Record Breaking Success at recent Wheelchair Football Festival

    Published 28/03/23

    On Monday 27th March, Woodlands Meed  became record breakers as every single student who benefits from using a wheelchair attended the recent Wheelchair football festival at The Triangle Leisure Centre in Burgess Hill. 

    16 students from both our school and college sites made the short but labour-intensive journey to attend the event organised by Albion in the Community.

    Students took the opportunity to participate in every activity on offer including relays, penalty shoot-outs and passing drills.  The highlight was most definitely the matches which brought out everyone’s competitive side, and we’re not just talking about the students

    Every one was presented with certificates and medals in recognition of all they achieved.  We could not be prouder of our students; once again, they surprised us all and many tears were shed as they surpassed even our highest expectations.

  • Owls competitive Debut a resounding success despite false fire alarm!

    Published 15/03/23

    On Tuesday 14th March, Owls made their competitive debut when they travelled the short distance to St Pauls in Burgess Hill to represent Woodlands Meed in the annual boccia and new age kurling event.

    There were six other schools in attendance including Lindfield, St Josephs, Bolnor and Blackthorns with all students having the opportunity to play in both boccia and new age kurling matches.

    Our students played really well, trying their best and showing great improvement throughout the morning’s event.  They coped really well with the unfamiliar setting, and the large number of unfamiliar people present.  Owls also had an unplanned fire alarm to contend with! They all took it in their stride and many commented that they enjoyed playing the two sports.  Seeing their old school, and making new friends were two other highlights!  Well done Owls, we are very proud of you!

  • Table Cricket Scores High Again as School Site finish Creditable Third

    Published 02/03/23

    On Wednesday 1st March, our table cricketers travelled the short distance to The 1st Central County Ground, the home of Sussex Cricket, to represent Woodlands Meed in the annual table cricket competition.  After the successes of last year, there was a lot of excitement surrounding this competition as we fielded 6 students from last year’s     triumphant team, and welcomed two students who were making their competitive debut.

    In addition to our superstars there were six other teams competing, including teams from Manor Green College, Downsview and St Piers. 

    We started strongly in our first match against Downsview Link College where our students put into practice what they have learnt during their coaching sessions.  Some great fielding and bowling was demonstrated, but it was our expert batting that resulted in a deserved victory, winning by 24 runs!

    Our final match was against Manor Green College who had won their first match so we knew only a win would see us through to the regionals.  Again, our students gave everything against a very tough opponent, and finished with a very respectable 228 runs.  Despite some heroic fielding and committed bowling, we eventually lost our second game.   Although we were disappointed not to progress to the regionals, our students should be extremely proud of how they played, and take a lot of heart that they lost to the eventual winners.  

    All our students demonstrated great teamwork and sportsmanship throughout.  They were an absolute credit to the school! 

    Special mention to Jadon who epitomised what sport should be about; skill, pride and most importantly enjoyment!  Well done Jadon!

    A massive thank you to Jan James for leading this trip only hours after The Hawth performance celebrating 10 years of Woodlands Meed that she was so heavily involved in! 

    Congratulations everyone, we are so proud of you all!
