This year Medeshamstede Academy celebrates our 10 year anniversary, which also coincides with our Monarch's Platinum Jubilee Celebration.
We celebrated both events in school on Wednesday 25th May and, to wish us well on the day, Paul Bristow, our local MP for Peterborough, sent us a wonderful video message of congratulations.
If your child missed the opportunity to be vaccinated for Covid-19 (1st or 2nd doses) at a school session, as arranged by the Community School Age Immunisation Service run by Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust, please refer to the below, which outlines how you can arrange for this to happen.
Medeshamstede Academy staff have produced a video and social story guide for pupils, which explains everything you need to know about Lateral Flow Testing in our school.
The video takes you through everything from where the test will take place in our school, how to queue, and what the testing process looks like.

Our blended learning provision was launched on Monday 11th January 2021 for pupils who will be remote learning at home.
We confirm we have complied with the government’s guidance on managing the risk of COVID-19 and have completed the five recommended steps of safer working together.
Here are two useful guides for supporting home learning.
The first, a step by step guide for families, shows how to structure a workstation at home. It includes some helpful video links with additional guidance and we hope you find this useful.
The second guide covers the four different "zones of regulation" and includes useful information around different techniques and strategies that can be used when children are in each zone.

Examination success again for our current Year 11 leavers. The big wait for results day is always a nerve-racking one for pupils, parents and teachers. But we are again delighted to announce a set of superb outcomes for our largest cohort of leavers to date.
Pupils from across Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 enjoyed an action packed three days at Rock UK in Irthlingborough. There were 21 pupils from across the key stages who all took part in a two nights and three days of Outdoor Adventurous Activities.

This half term we saw 'Phase 1' completion of our outdoor provision development project. With special thanks to Greenwood Academies Trust for supporting our development bid to secure funding for this project. Re-surfacing of one of our outdoor areas has seen the space developed into a "all-weather" provision so outdoor learning opportunities and play times can be enjoyed by all our pupils.

Pupils from Yr6 have been working hard writing spooky short stories in the hope that their creations would come to life in the Cambridgeshire Edition of Spooky Sagas.
