Executive Principal’s Blog – 27.6.25: ‘Proud Moments!’
 This week there have been a few significant moments that have made us incredibly proud of the staff and students associated with Bushey Meads School. On Wednesday morning we hosted an event for local Headteachers, Deputy Headteachers, representatives of Hertfordshire Children’s Services, Governors and several Special Education Needs Coordinators from a number of local schools.
 At the event held in our brand-new Specialist Resource Provision (The Laurel) after a welcome, refreshments and a networking opportunity, our SENDCo, Mrs Seed and key leaders within her team and across the Alternative Curriculum Provision team shared best practice about the incredible work they do for the young people in our care.
The visitors were very impressed with the breadth of our curriculum offer and the variety of options available to students. Many of them requested further information about the best practice they had heard about and wanted to come back again at a later date.
This week we also had a sense of pride as we said goodbye to our superb Year 11 and 13 students in their final assemblies, as they celebrated their years at Bushey Meads, reflected back on all their amazing achievements and took part in those ‘rites of passage’ including signing their shirts and bidding each other a fond farewell.
They also enjoyed their respective Proms held at the prestigious Hunton Park Hotel in Abbots Langley. A huge thank you goes to all the brilliant staff who have supported them on their journeys so far and made their last official day so memorable.
 Just finally I received an email from Sergeant Will Leyshon from Wembley Park Police commending a number of Year 8 students including Daisy, Tyla, and Nazar who played a key role in helping a man who fell ill at Bushey Railway Station one afternoon earlier this week. Sergeant Leyshon informed me that they were all very compassionate and helped the man gather his belongings whilst he regained consciousness and that they should be thanked for having the bravery to get involved.
He went on to state that teenagers often get a bad press these days, but these young people should be thanked for their actions, as they got involved for the right reasons and made a real difference. Many people (including adults) walked by and did nothing, but these young people from our school did something when others did not, and they should be thanked and commended for that.
We continue to be immensely proud of so many members of our community; as usual do click on the link and read about the latest BMS News.
