These are in addition to the many sporting activities. The library is open at lunch time and after school. Booster classes and Master classes in numeracy and literacy are held after school.

Music and Drama

Meden has built up a strong reputation for the quality of work in both of these areas of artistic and creative work. The School Band and Choir give major concerts each year both in and out of school. Members of the band are regularly selected to play with the County Concert Band.

Visits

These include study visits to the continent including ski trips. Field trips are organised by the Geography, History, Biology and Physical Education Departments.

School Council

The School Council is made up of representatives from every tutorial. The group meets regularly to discuss a whole range of issues that are of concern to pupils. The council has taken an active part in the formulation of an Anti - Bullying Policy, a Rewards Policy and the school's dress code.
