Head Boy and Head Girl Welcome
A welcome from our Head Students
Hello and a warm welcome to Meridian High School. My name is Jimmy, and I'm honoured to be Head Boy at this truly fantastic school.The past five years have seen Meridian transform into a place where every student can thrive. We have incredible support systems like Pinnacle and Summit, designed to help each of you reach your full potential, no matter your starting point.
Our teachers? They're not just dedicated, they're inspiring. They believe in us, push us, and make learning exciting. Here at Meridian, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE as we live by the motto: "Only Exceptional is Acceptable." I know Year 11 will be full of challenges, but I also know that with hard work, amazing teachers, and the supportive community at Meridian, we can achieve anything we set our minds to.
My name is Amy, and I am Head Girl's here at Meridian. Meridian High School provides a supportive and challenging environment that encourages me to become the best version of myself. Througout my time here I have accessed support through Summit, which gave me the skills to become Thrive Ambassador which developed my confidence to apply for the position of Head Girl. Our teachers and staff are committed to helping me excel, offering personalised guidance and resources that strengthen my skills and confidence. With this encouragement and support, Meridian High empowers me to succeed and prepare for a bright future.
The Student Leadership Team
"Being part of the Student Leadership Team at Meridian High School has given me the chance to represent my peers and make a real difference in school life. I’ve developed confidence in speaking up, working as part of a team, and leading projects that improve our school community. It feels good to know that our voices are listened to and that we can help shape the future of Meridian for all students." Emma- Deputy Head Girl.
“Meridian High pushes me to do my best in every subject. Teachers give us challenging work that makes us think harder and go beyond what we thought we could do. It’s not always easy, but I feel proud when I achieve things I didn’t believe I was capable of. The high expectations here motivate me to aim higher for my future.” Mitchel- Deputy Head Boy
“At Meridian High School I always feel supported, not just in my lessons but as a person. The pastoral team are there whenever I need advice or someone to talk to, and they really listen. Knowing that I have adults I can trust makes me feel safe and more confident to focus on my learning.” Amber- Deputy Head Girl
“Meridian High School gives us so many opportunities outside the classroom, from trips and visits to meeting people from different careers. These experiences open our eyes to what’s possible in the future and help us think about our own ambitions. I’ve been inspired to aim higher and work harder because I can see the different paths available to me after school.” CJ- Deputy Head Boy
Student leadership is about giving young people a voice, the responsibility to make a difference, and the confidence to lead with purpose that they utilise in their futures.
