History
Students from Meopham School were chosen to form part of a "guard of honour" for athletes at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games, displaying artistic creations made by the school to celebrate the event.[1]
The school converted into an academy on 1st February 2013, technically establishing a new school.[2]
In 2022, the school went into lockdown after two individuals were seen trespassing on the grounds.[3]
Meopham's rating dropped from outstanding to good following an inspection on 19 April 2023.[4]
