Pupils and staff got together with friends to enjoy a special Caribbean fun day to celebrate the re-naming of their Oldbury school.
Young people enjoyed lots of activities including bouncy castles, steel drums, sandpits, a treasure hunt, a beach and a barbecue.
The event was held to highlight the change of name from the Meadows Sports College to The Meadows School.
Head teacher Joanna Cliffe said: “We have extended our age range to take on young people from the age of nine and we wanted a school feel instead of it being referred to as a college as it has in the past.
“We pride ourselves on offering bespoke provision for our students with a range of individual and special needs and we offer many enrichment opportunities to ensure they have a breadth of experience in their school life with us.
“We had so much fun on the day and it was great that Simon Hackett, the cabinet member for children’s services, was able to come along and join in the activities, she added.
Councillor Hackett said he was “very pleased” to have been invited to take part in the celebrations. “It was good fun and the students really enjoyed getting involved in the many activities on offer,” he said.
The school in Dudley Road East has 151 students, ranging from 9-19 years.
