Remembering Mia Jones
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of one of our Year 10 students, Mia Jones, on Tuesday 3rd November 2026.
Mia joined the Wade Deacon family in September 2023, also attending Harmonize Academy since January 2026.
Those who knew Mia will remember a kind, caring, funny and incredibly loyal friend who had a brilliant sense of humour and a personality that could light up a room.
Mia had a special way of making people smile. Whether it was her quick wit, her cheeky sense of humour or the way she always managed to get her point across with a smile, she had a knack for making people laugh. Her friends remember walking away from conversations with Mia still smiling or laughing about something she had said.
Her friends describe her as the funniest person in their group, someone who could make them laugh even on the hardest of days. Mia was never afraid to stand up for what she believed was right and was always there to look out for the people she cared about, she was full of energy and with the kindest soul.
Mia loved the simple things that made her happy: spending time with her family and friends, listening to music, riding her bike and sharing those everyday moments that have now become treasured memories. Above all, it is the laughter, the friendships and the countless little moments that her friends will remember most. The stories they have shared about Mia are a lovely reminder of just how much she meant to those around her.
Mia will be deeply missed by her friends, classmates, staff and everyone whose life she touched during her time as part of the Wade Deacon family.
Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with Mia's family, her friends and all those who knew and loved her.
Keep hold of the laughter, the smiles and the memories.
We will miss you, Mia.
