Last year, we hosted an RSHE parent and carer information session to: - Provide clarity about statutory RSHE requirements. - Explain how RSHE is delivered at The Meadows. - Create an open space for questions, discussion, and feedback. By engaging families in this way, we ensure transparency, build trust, and create a shared understanding of the values and knowledge we teach. **Further Information** - **[PSHE/RSHE Long Term Planning](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/files/documents/PSHE_Long_Term_Planning_(KS3,_KS4,_KS5).pdf)** - **[RSHE Policy](https://files.schudio.com/the-meadows-sports-college/files/documents/RSE_Policy_March_25.pdf)** **Parent Withdrawal Form** **[Parent form: Withdrawal from sex education included in RSHE lessons](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/files/documents/withdrawal-from-sex_education_included_in_RSHE.docx)** ### Curriculum and Teaching - [Curriculum Overview](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/curriculumandteaching/curriculum-overview) - [Pathway Overview](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/curriculumandteaching/pathway-overview) - [Curriculum Bubbles Overview](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/curriculumandteaching/curriculum-bubbles-overview) - [PHSE and RSHE](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/curriculumandteaching/pshe-rhse) - [Religious Education](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/curriculumandteaching/religious-education-re) - [Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA)](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/curriculumandteaching/rights-respecting-schools-award-rrsa) - [SMSC, British Values & Cultural Capital](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/curriculumandteaching/smsc-british-values-cultural-captial) - [Phonics and Reading](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/curriculumandteaching/phonics-reading) - [Achievement at the Meadows](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/curriculumandteaching/achievement-at-the-meadows) - [Continuing Professional Development (CPD)](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/curriculumandteaching/continuing-professional-development) - [Multi Agency Collaboration](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/curriculumandteaching/multi-agency-collaboration) - [Supporting Learning for Pupils Unable to Attend School](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/curriculumandteaching/supporting-learning-for-pupils-unable-to-attend-school) - [Equality and Protected Characteristics](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/curriculumandteaching/equality-protected-characteristics) ### Useful Links - [Sandwell MBC](http://www.sandwell.gov.uk/) - [Special Educational Needs Magazine](http://www.senmagazine.co.uk/) - [Special Educational Needs Resources (TES)](https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resources-hub/special-educational-needs/) - [Hft – Supporting people with learning disabilities and their families](http://www.hft.org.uk/) - [Educate Against Hate](http://www.educateagainsthate.com/) - [Prevent Duty](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/protecting-children-from-radicalisation-the-prevent-duty) ### Contact Us **The Meadows School** Dudley Road East Oldbury Sandwell B69 3BU Tel: 0121 569 7080 School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) - [X](https://twitter.com/TheMeadowsTMS) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOYG4XlfiMDaxN2O6TgWEBg/) © Copyright 2016–2026 The Meadows School.
