Meadowhead School: 21 retro photos from 90s and noughties of pupils and teachers at Sheffield's biggest school

From world record attempts to sporting success and a special day on the rink at iceSheffield, these retro photos capture school life in all its variety.

With more than 1,900 pupils on its roll today, according to the latest Ofsted figures, Meadowhead School Academy Trust is believed to be the biggest school in Sheffield.

We've wound the clock back to look at life there during the 90s and noughties, when it was simply called Meadowhead School, having been formed when Jordanthorpe Comprehensive and Rowlinson School merged back in the 80s.

From world record attempts to sporting success and a special day on the rink at iceSheffield, these retro photos capture school life in all its variety.

There's even a visit by the school's famous old girl Helen Sharman, who returned to inspire the next generation to aim for the stars, after becoming the first Briton in space.

Are you among the pupils pictured here and do you remember the teachers featured in this retro photo gallery? We'd love to hear your memories of your days at Meadowhead School.
