We believe that every student deserves to thrive in a safe, nurturing environment where they are empowered to become confident, curious, and compassionate individuals. Our values are not just words; they shape our culture, inform our decisions, and underpin our commitment to excellence in education and personal development. ![A tree with different colors of leaves AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/images/pages/bdb12669a9a23c7bb04ca1d78d147640.png) We believe in - Communicating to connect, understand, and empower every voice. - Respecting every individual, celebrating uniqueness in all we do. - Inspiring independence in every step. - Collaborating to achieve greatness together! - Growing stronger through every challenge. - Prioritising wellbeing at the heart of all we do. **Please click [here](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/files/documents/School_Values.pdf) to download a poster of our School Values.** **If your child demonstrates one of our school values at home, we’d love for you to share it with their class teacher via Class Dojo, so we can celebrate their achievement in school too!** ### Our School - [Head Teacher’s Welcome](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/about-us/headteacher-s-welcome) - [School Value & Vision](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/about-us/school-value-vision) - [British Values](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/about-us/british-values) - [Meet the Governors](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/about-us/meet-the-governors) - [Staff List](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/about-us/staff-list) - [Ofsted](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/about-us/ofsted) - [School Day](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/about-us/school-day) - [Vacancies](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/job-vacancies) - [FAQs](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/about-us/faqs) - [Public Sector Equality](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/about-us/public-sector-equality-policy) ### [Latest News](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/news) 10 November 2026 [![Image of Coffee Morning - 03/12/26 9:30 am to 11 am @ Connor Road Site](https://files.schudio.com/the-meadows-sports-college/imagecache/750x480c/news/1000095746_(2).jpg)](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/news/2026-11-10-coffee-morning-03-12-26-9-30-am-to-11-am-connor-road-site) #### [Coffee Morning - 03/12/26 9:30 am to 11 am @ Connor Road Site](https://themeadows.sandwell.sch.uk/news/2026-11-10-coffee-morning-03-12-26-9-30-am-to-11-am-connor-road-site) ### 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://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.
