Lunchtime is more than just eating—it’s a time for fun, friendship, and fantastic activities! From sports and creative play to quiet reading corners, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Happy, active, and engaged children make for a brilliant school day! 🌟@LiftSchools

What a great turnout for our ‘Movie and Maths’ event. Children had popcorn and a movie whilst we discussed the Y4 Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) with parents before they then joined parents and demonstrated their skills on TTRockstars!

Pupils in Y6 loved exploring Wakefield Cathedral followed by a visit to a local art gallery. From stunning architecture to creative workshops, it was an unforgettable mix of history, culture and inspiration. @LiftSchools

Part of being a child at Meadstead is understanding the importance of community and the role we all play in looking after each other. Y5 and Y6 pupils were exemplary ambassadors for the school and throughly enjoy their weekly visits to the local care home. @LiftSchools

A fantastic Christingle service at Bethel Church in Royston; the children and staff had a great time 🎄@LiftSchools @CNicholson_Edu @wearebarnsley @BarnsleySCP

We’re incredibly proud of children and how the represented Meadstead at the Royston Christmas Carol Concert at St John the Baptist church. Christmas starts here! @LiftSchools

IY1 have chopped, juiced and tasted fruit to help us decide what we will be putting in our smoothies next week. Let’s just say we didn’t choose lemon juice 😆@LiftSchools @BarnsleySCP #meadstead #barnsley #royston

Snow day! We don’t let the snow stop us, we embrace it! What better way to warm up after playing in the snow than with hot chocolate and cookies. @LiftSchools @CNicholson_Edu @wearebarnsley @BarnsleyCivic

Starting the day with an online assembly about plastic pollution followed by a WHOLE SCHOOL litter pick. Meadstead children looking after our community! @LiftSchools @BarnsleySCP @wearebarnsley @CNicholson_Edu

From Y6 to Reception, we have been learning about the sacrifice made by so many. Children took part in a wide variety of Remembrance activities and visits. We will remember them. @LiftSchools @CNicholson_Edu @wearebarnsley @BarnsCivicTrust

We love reading at lunchtime in our reading shed! The importance of reading for pleasure cannot be underestimated. Children should be allowed to read at every opportunity - reading unlocks potential. #meadstead #liftschools #reading

Tomorrow we’re launching the first of our extensive after school clubs offer at Meadstead. This is part of our strive to improve personal development and growth and to ensure that many more opportunities come your child’s way. #meadstead #royston #barnsley #liftschools

What an experience! The entire school was out in full force to cheer on the Tour of Britain riders as they rode through Royston. Maybe we have a future sporting great in our midst here at Meadstead inspired by the event! #tourofbritain @LiftSchools @CNicholson_Edu

Proud to be a part of Lift Schools! Our commitment to our pupils and community has never been stronger #LiftSchools @LiftSchools
