TEAM MEADOWDALE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!🏆 Yesterday a group of our children took part in the first NELT athletics festival at Gateshead Stadium, where all North East Learning Trust schools came together for a brilliant day of sports, fun and positivity.💪🤩

The morning began with a wonderful opening ceremony where our pupils paraded our school flag with pride, before competing in a range of activities including the standing long jump and relay. Our children cheered on their teammates, danced, chanted and even made some new friends.
